> June 14: “It is not your circumstances that need altering so much as yourself.”
>
> 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.

> A.A. Thought for the Day
>
> In A.A. we have to learn that drink is our greatest enemy. Although we used to think that liquor was our friend, the time came when it turned against us and became our enemy. We don't 'know just when this happened, but we know that it did because we began to get into trouble - jails and hospitals. We realize now that liquor is our enemy. Is it still my main business to keep sober?

> Meditation for the Day
>
> It is not your circumstances that need altering so much as yourself. After you have changed, conditions will naturally change. Spare no effort to become all that God would have you become. Follow every good leading of your conscience. Take each day with no backward look. Face the day's problems with God, and seek God's help and guidance as to what you should do in every situation that may arise. Never look back. Never leave until tomorrow the thing that you are guided to do today.

> Prayer for the Day

> I pray that God will help me to become all that He would have me be. I pray that I may face today's problem as with good grace.

> The following is Excerpt No. 121 from As Bill Sees It : “We are Not Fighting”
>
> We have ceased fighting anything or anyone - even alcohol. For by this time sanity has returned. We can now react sanely & normally, & we find that this has happened almost automatically. We see that this new attitude toward liquor is really a gift of God.
>
> That is the miracle of it. We are not fighting it, neither are we avoiding temptation. We have not even sworn off. Instead, the problem has been removed. It does not exist for us. We are neither cocky not are we afraid.
>
> This is how we react - so long as we keep in fit spiritual condition.
