A.A. Thought for the Day

Step One is, "We admitted we were powerless over alcohol-that
our lives had become unmanageable." This step states the membership
requirement of A.A. We must admit that our lives are disturbed.
We must accept the fact that we are helpless before the power of
alcohol. We must admit that we are licked as far as drinking is
concerned and that we need help. We must be willing to accept the
bitter fact that we cannot drink like normal people. And we must
make, as gracefully as possible, a surrender to the inevitable
fact that we must stop drinking. Is it difficult for me to admit
that I am different from normal drinkers?

Meditation for the Day

"Show us the way, O' Lord, and let us walk in Thy paths." There
seems to be a right way to live and a wrong way You can make a
practical test. When you live the right way, things seem to work
out well for you. When you live the wrong way, things seem to
work out badly for you. You seem to take out of life about what
you put into it. if you disobey the laws of nature, the chances
are that you will be unhealthy. If you disobey the spiritual and
moral laws, the chances are that you will be unhappy. By
following the laws of nature and the spiritual laws of honesty,
purity, unselfishness, and love, you can expect to be reasonably
healthy and happy.

Prayer for the Day

I pray that I may try to live the right way. I pray that I may
follow the path that leads to a better life.
