| Trudging that road. | September 21 Daily Reflections THE LAST PROMISE We will suddenly realize that God is doing for us what we could not do for ourselves. ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 84 The last Promise in the Big Book came true for me on the very first day of sobriety. God kept me sober that day, and on every other day I allowed Him to operate in my life. He gives me the strength, courage and guidance to meet my responsibilities in life so that I am then able to reach out and help others stay sober and grow. He manifests within me, making me a channel of His word, thought and deed. He works with my inner self, while I produce in the outer world, for He will not do for me what I can do for myself. I must be willing to do His work, so that He can function through me successfully. c 1990 Daily Reflections Alcoholics Anonymous World Services, INC. |

loved the reading, but the part that bothered me is the experience shared of it being the last promise in the BB. there are many, many promises int he BB, they just arent noted as being promises. i love this one: And we have ceased fighting anything or anyone - even alcohol. For by this time sanity will have returned. no longer insane, just craaaaazy!!!
