MAY 17 in The Little Blue Book ONE DAY at a TIME in AL-ANON:
When my body is sick, I take the medicine the doctor prescribes. When I am soul-sick and heartsick, I need medicine just as much or more. Living with an alcoholic, and with my own neurotic response to that situation, I need the spiritual and emotional curatives that Al-Anon can give me. In the beginning I do not realize how much I need it, but when I see others healed of their despair, I find myself willing to accept the program.
People only deprive themselves when they blindly reject the continuing help of Al-Anon. Even when the alcoholic has found sobriety, they still need its spiritual support. They would profit greatly by “taking the medicine” until they can feel its beneficial effects.
Today’s Reminder
If ever I found relief from my self-torment in Al-Anon, if ever I enjoyed moments of wonder at how much better I felt after being guided into this spiritual road to recovery, I will not lightly let go of Al-Anon. We all learn, sooner or later, that it can be applied to all facets of life, now and always.
“It is comforting to know that I need never face my problems without the help of Al-Anon.”
