Twenty-Four Hours A Day for 2/8/2013 *~*~*~*^TwentyFourHoursADay^*~*~*~* A.A. Thought for the Day When the morning sun comes up on a nice bright day and we jump out of bed, we're thankful to God that we feet well and happy instead of sick and disgusted. Serenity and happiness have become much more important to us than the excitement of drinking, which lifts us up for a short while, but lets us way down in the end. Of course, all of us alcoholics had a lot of fun with drinking. We might as well admit it. We can look back on a lot of good times, before we became alcoholics. But the time comes for all of us alcoholics when drinking ceases to be fun and becomes trouble. Have I learned that drinking can never again be anything but trouble for me? Meditation for the Day I must rely on God. I must trust Him to the limit. I must depend on the Divine Power in all human relationships. I will wait and trust and hope, until God shows me the way. I will wait for guidance on each important decision. I will meet the test of waiting until a thing seems right before I do it. Every work for God must meet this test of time. The guidance will come, if I wait for it. Prayer for the Day I pray that I may meet the test of waiting for God's guidance. I pray that I will not go off on my own.

Thought - Drinking is indeed trouble for me. My mind does, though, like to remember the good times and forget the bad ones with booze/drugs. It selectively remembers the fun and games but not the depression and anxiety. It's all a million times better by simply not taking the first drink. Med - Patience, patience, patience. God will let me know what the right move is, so I have to be patience and not act rashly or quickly when presented with a frustrating or tough situation. |
OH yea , I am a quick forgetter !!! Specially with the bad things. This alcoholic has a disease that wants me DEAD... And if it cant kill me quickly it will settle for a slow painful alcoholic death... !!!! Thats why I surrendered and thats all I did... I didnt get sober God got me here. And for today I think I am spiritually fit enough to stay for another 24 hours.. :) |
