DAILY REFLECTIONS for December 17th

A PRICELESS REWARD

… work with other alcoholics. … It works when other activities fail.
Alcoholics Anonymous, Page 89

"Life will take on new meaning," as the Big Book says (page 89). This promise has helped me to avoid self-seeking and self-pity. To watch others grow in this wonderful program, to see them improve the quality of their lives, is a priceless reward for my effort to help others. Self-examination is yet another reward for an ongoing recovery, as are serenity, peace and contentment. The energy derived from seeing others on a successful path, of sharing with them the joys of the journey, gives to my life a new meaning.
