> March 13: We are not cured of alcoholism. What we really have is a daily reprieve contingent on the maintenance of our spiritual condition.
> This is March, the 3rd month of the year;
> • The 3rd Tradition: The only requirement for A.A. membership is a desire to stop drinking.
> • The 3rd Step: Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.
> • The 3rd Promise: We will not regret the past nor wish to shut the door on it.

> We've gotten rid of our false, drinking selves and found our real, sober selves. And we turn to God, our Father, for help, just as the Prodigal Son arose and went to his father. At the end of the story, the father of the Prodigal Son says: "He was dead and is alive again, he was lost and is found." We alcoholics who have found sobriety in A.A. were certainly dead and are alive again. We were lost and are found. Am I alive again?

> Meditation for the Day

> Gently breathe in God's spirit, that spirit which, if not barred out by selfishness, will enable you to do good works. This means rather that God will be enabled to do good works through you. You can become a channel for God's spirit to flow through you and into the lives of others. The works that you can do will only be limited by your spiritual development. Let your spirit be in harmony with God's spirit and there is no limit to what you can do in the realm of human relationships.

> I pray that I may become a channel for God's spirit. I pray that God's spirit may flow through me into the lives of others.
