DAILY REFLECTIONS for December 16th

PARTNERS IN RECOVERY

… nothing will so much insure immunity from drinking as intensive work with other alcoholics. … Both you and the new man must walk day by day in the path of spiritual progress. … Follow the dictates of a Higher Power and you will presently live in a new and wonderful world, no matter what your present circumstances!
Alcoholics Anonymous, Pages 89, 100

Doing the right things for the right reasons — this is my way of controlling my selfishness and self-centeredness. I realize that my dependency on a Higher Power clears the way for peace of mind, happiness and sobriety. I pray each day that I will avoid my previous actions, so that I will be helpful to others.
