Twenty-Four Hours a Day *~*~*~*^TwentyFourHoursADay^*~*~*~*
A.A. Thought for the Day
We come now to A.A. fellowship. It is partly group therapy. It is partly spiritual fellowship. But it is even more. it is based on a common illness, a common failure, a common problem. It goes deep down into our personal lives and our personal needs. it requires a full opening up to each other of our inmost thoughts and most secret problems. All barriers between us are swept aside. They have to be. Then we try to help each other get well. The A.A. fellowship is based on a sincere desire to help each other get well. The A.A. fellowship is based on a sincere desire to help the other person. In A.A. we can be sure of sympathy, understanding, and real help. These things make the A.A. fellowship the best that we know. Do I fully appreciate the depth of the A.A. fellowship?
Meditation for the Day
The Higher Power can guide us to the right decisions if we pray about them. We can believe that many details of our lives are planned by God and planned with a wealth of forgiving love for the mistakes we have made. We can pray today to be shown the right way. We can choose the good, and when we choose it, we can feel that the whole power of the universe is behind us. We can achieve a real harmony with God's purpose for our lives.
Prayer for the Day
I pray that I may choose aright today. I pray that I may be shown the right way to live today.

I was one of those guys that jumped into the steps before really jumping into the fellowship. I was (and still am!) a quiet type, and going around talking to others was something that frightened the hell out of me. So it's only now that I am getting a little bit deeper into the fellowship, in terms of being a truer part of it, gaining strength and inspiration from, and truly seeing others as I see myself.
As vital as the steps are, I am seeing that the fellowship is always there, and it's another place where I can draw from the well, in terms of experience, help and giving back to.
