Daily Reflections
For those of you who do not have a Daily Reflections book, I HIGHLY recommend getting one! It is filled with daily little morsels of inspiration! So every date of the year has it's on page, and December 1 has been by far my favorite. I thought I would share
I thought that was an amazing little story, and I hope that others do too! Have a great Tuesday!3
"Suggested" Steps
Our Twelfth Step also says that as a result of practicing all the Steps, we have each found something called a spiritual awakening...A.A.'s manner of making ready to receive this gift lies in the practice of the Twelve Steps in our program
I remember my sponsor's answer when I told him that the Steps were "suggested". He replied that they are "suggested" in the same way that, if you were to jump out of an airplane with a parachute, it is "suggested" that you pull the ripcord to save your life. He pointed out that it was "suggested" I practice the Twelve Steps, if I wanted to save my life. So I try to remember daily that i have a whole program of recovery based on all Twelve of the "suggested" Steps.
