> Please permit me a brief share. For better or for worse, I connect soul-to-soul with certain AAs. One of us came to a meeting last night and shared again about his recent and 3 month relapse. I like this guy very much and I am so grateful that he’s back with us. I pray he accepts into his heart the softer, gentler way that I believe AA offers. I am so grateful he is back.

> November 6: Spiritual power is God in action. God can only act through human beings.
> My personal observation: No matter what I do, I can have faith that I am doing what God wants me to do. My actions will be either a positive example for someone else or a demonstration of what not to do.
>
> This is November, the 11th month of the year;
> • The 11th Tradition reads: Our public relations policy is based on attraction rather than promotion; we need always maintain personal anonymity at the level of press, radio, and films.
> • The 11th Step: Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.
> • The 11th Promise: We will intuitively know how to handle situations which used to baffle us.

> Fear and worry had me down. They were increased by my drinking. I worried about what I had done when I was drunk. I was afraid of what the consequences might be. I was afraid to face people because of the fear of being found out. Fear kept me in hot water all the time. I was a nervous wreck from fear and worry. I was a tied-up bundle of nerves. I had a fear of failure, of the future, of growing old, of sickness, of hangovers, of suicide. I had a wrong set of ideas and attitudes. When A.A. told me to surrender these fears and worries to a Higher Power, I did so. I now try to think faith instead of fear. Have I put faith in place off ear?

> Spiritual power is God in action. God can only act through human beings. Whenever you, however weak you may be, allow God to act through you, then all you think and say and do is spiritually powerful. It is not you alone who produces a change in the lives of others! It is also the Divine Spirit in you and working through you. Power is God in action. God can use you as a tool to accomplish miracles in people's lives.

> I pray that I may try to let God's power act through me today. I pray that I may get rid of those blocks that keep His power from me.

> The following is Excerpt No. 68 from As Bill Sees It : “Renew Your Effort”
> Though I know how hurt & sorry you must be after this slip, please do not worry about a temporary loss of your inner peace. As calmly as you can just renew your effort on the A.A. program, especially those parts of it which have to do with meditation & self-analysis.
>
> Could I also suggest that you look at excessive guilt for what it is? Nothing but a sort of reverse pride. A decent regret for what has happened is fine. But guilt - no.
>
> Indeed, the slip could well have been brought about by unreasonable feelings of guilt because of other moral failures, so called. Surely, you ought to look into this possibility. Even here you should not blame yourself for failure; you can be penalized only for refusing to try for better things.
