> This is June, the 6th month of the year;
> • The 6th Tradition: An A.A. group ought never endorse, finance, or lend the A.A. name to any related facility or outside enterprise, lest problems of money, property, and prestige divert us from our primary purpose.
> • The 6th Step: Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.
> • The 6th Promise: That feeling of uselessness and self-pity will disappear.

> We alcoholics are fortunate to be living in a day and age when there is such a thing as Alcoholics Anonymous. Before A.A. came into being, there was very little hope for the alcoholic. A.A. is a great re-builder of human wreckage. It takes men and women whose personality problem expresses itself in alcoholism and offers them a program that, if they are willing to accept it, allows them not only to get sober, but also to find a much better way of living. Have I found a better way of living .

> Meditation for the Day
>
> Very quietly God speaks through your thoughts and feelings. Heed the Divine voice of your conscience. Listen for this and you will never be disappointed in the results in your life. Listen for this small, still voice and your tired nerves will become rested. The Divine voice comes to you as strength as well as tenderness, as power as well as restfulness. Your moral strength derives its effectiveness from the power that comes when you listen patiently for the still, small voice.

> Prayer for the Day
>
> I pray that I may listen for the still, small voice of God. I pray that I may obey the leading of my conscience.

> The following is Excerpt No. 133 from As Bill Sees It : “Privileged People”
>
> I saw that I had been living too much alone, too much aloof from my fellows, & too deaf to that voice within. Instead of seeing myself as a simple agent bearing the message of experience, I had thought of myself as a founder of A.A.
> How much better it would have been had I felt gratitude rather than self satisfaction - gratitude that I had once suffered the pains of alcoholism, gratitude that a miracle of recovery had been worked upon me from above, gratitude for the privilege of serving my fellow alcoholics, & gratitude for those fraternal ties which bound me ever closer to them in a comradeship such as few societies of men have ever known.
> Truly did a clergyman say to me, "Your misfortune has become your good fortune. You A.A.’s are a privileged people.”
