06/30 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY
I've learned in The Program that the trick, for me, is not stopping drinking, but staying stopped and learning how not to start again.  It was always relatively easy to stop, if only by sheer incapacity alone;  God knows, I stopped literally thousands of times.  To stay stopped, I've had to develop a positive program of action.  I've had to learn to live sober, cultivating new habit patterns, new interests and new attitudes.  AM I REMAINING FLEXIBLE IN MY NEW LIFE?  AM I EXERCISING MY FREEDOM TO ABANDON LIMITED OBJECTIVES?

TODAY I PRAY
I pray that my new life will be filled with new patterns, new friends, new activities, new ways of looking at things.  I need God's help to overhaul my lifestyle to include all the newness it must hold.  I also need a few ideas of my own.  May my independence from chemicals and compulsive behavior help me make my choices with an open mind and a clear, appraising eye.

TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
Stopping is starting.

For me being me..

06/28 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY
Almost daily, I hear of seemingly mysterious coincidences in the lives of my friends in The Program.  From  time to time, I've experienced such "coincidences" myself: showing up at the right place at exactly the right time; phoning a friend who, unbeknownst to me, desperately needed that particular phone call at that precise moment; hearing "my story" at an unfamiliar meeting in a strange town.  These days, I choose to believe that many of life's so-called "coincidences" are actually small miracles of God, who prefers to remain anonymous.  AM I CONTINUINGLY GRATEFUL FOR THE MIRACLE OF MY RECOVERY?

TODAY I PRAY
May my awareness of a Higher Power working in our lives grow in sensitivity as I learn, each day, of "coincideneces" that defy statistics, illnesses that reverse their prognoses, hair-breadth escapes that defy death, chance meetings that change the course of a life.  When the un-understandable happens, may I perceive it as just another of God's frequent miracles.  My own death-defying miracle is witness enough for me.

TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
My life is a miracle.

06/27 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY
Little by little, I'm getting over my tendancy to procrastinate.  I always used to put things off till tomorrow, and, of course, they never got done.  Instead of "Do it now, " my motto was "Tomorrow's another day."  When I was loaded, I had grandoise plans; when I came down, I was too busy getting "well" to start anything.  I've learned in The Program that it's far better to make a mistake once in a while than to never do anything at all.  AM I LEARNING TO DO IT NOW?

TODAY I PRAY
May God help me cure my habitual tardiness and "get me to the church on time."  May I free myself of the self-imosed chaos of life-long procrastination: library books overdue, appointments half-missed, assignments turned in late, schedules unmet, meals half-cooked.  May I be sure if I , as and addict, led a disordered life, I, as a recovering addict, need order.  May God give me the serenity I need to restore order and organization to my daily living.

TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
I will not be put off by my tendancy to put off.
