> 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.

> You get the power to overcome drinking through the fellowship of other alcoholics who have found the way out. You get power by honestly sharing your past experience by a personal witness. You get power by coming to believe in a Higher Power, the Divine Principle in the universe which can help you. You get power by working with other alcoholics. In these four ways, thousands of alcoholics have found all the power they needed to overcome drinking. Am I ready and willing to accept this power and work for it?

> Meditation for the Day

> The power of God's spirit is the greatest power in the universe. Our conquest of each other, the great kings and conquerors, the conquest of wealth, the leaders of the money society, all amount to very little in the end. But one who conquers oneself is greater than one who conquers a city. Material things have no permanence. But God's spirit is eternal. Everything really worthwhile in the world is the result of the power of God's spirit.

> Prayer for the Day
>
> I pray that I may open myself to the power of God's spirit. I pray that my relationships with others may be improved by this spirit.

> When we look back, we realize that the things which came to us when we put ourselves in God's hands were better than anything we could have planned.

> My depression deepened unbearably, & finally it seemed to me as though I were at the very bottom of the pit. For the moment, the last vestige of my proud obstinacy was crushed. All at once I found myself crying out, "If there is a God, let Him show Himself! I am ready to do anything, anything!"
>
> Suddenly the room lit up with a great white light. It seemed to me, in the minds eye, that I was on a mountain & that a wind not of air but of spirit was blowing. & then it burst upon me that I was a free man. Slowly the ecstasy subsided. I lay on the bed, but now for a time I was in another world, a new world of consciousness. All about me & through me there was a wonderful feeling Presence, & I thought to myself, "So this is the God of the preachers!"
