> March 4: The elimination of selfishness is the key to happiness and can only be accomplished with God's help.
> 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.

> Having surrendered our lives to God and put our drink problem in His hands doesn't mean that we'll never be tempted to drink. So we must build up strength for the time when temptation will come. In this quiet time, we read and pray and get our minds in the right mood for the day. Starting the day right is a great help in keeping sober. As the days go by and we get used to the sober life, it gets easier and easier. We begin to develop a deep gratitude to God for saving us from that old life. And we begin to enjoy peace and serenity and quiet happiness. Am I trying to live the way God wants me to live?

> The elimination of selfishness is the key to happiness and can only be accomplished with God's help. We start out with a spark of the Divine Spirit but a large amount of selfishness. As we grow and come in contact with other people, we can take one of two paths. We can become more and more selfish and practically extinguish the Divine Spark within us, or we can become more unselfish and develop our spirituality until it becomes the most important thing in our lives.

> I pray that I may grow more and more unselfish, honest, pure, and loving. I pray that I may take the right path every day.
