Daily Reflections
*~*~*~*~*^Daily Reflections^*~*~*~*~*
FIRST THINGS FIRST
Some of us have taken very hard knocks to learn this truth: Job or no job - wife or no wife - we simply do not stop drinking so long as we place dependence upon other people ahead of dependence on God.
ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 98
Before coming to A.A., I always had excuses for taking a drink: "She said. . .," "He said. . .," "I got fired yesterday," "I got a great job today." No area of my life could be good if I drank again. In sobriety my life gets better each day. I must always remember not to drink, to trust God, and to stay active in A.A. Am I putting anything before my sobriety, God, and A.A. today?

I need to be reminded everyday, and the best way for me to do that is to get into the literature and to get at least one meeting in and /or talk with another alcoholic. Thank you for this reminder. It has become such a vital part of life today. First things first indeed!
