Topic: ~SPIRITUAL NOT RELIGIOUS~ A DAY AT A TIME

04/15 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY
Rare are the practicing alcoholics who have any idea how irrational they are, or, seeing their irrationality, can bear to face it. One reason is that they are abetted in their blindness by a world which doesn't yet understand the difference between sane drinking and alcoholism. The dictionary defines sanity as "soundness of mind." Yet no alcoholic, soberly analyzing his or her destructive behavior, can truly claim soundness of mind. HAVE I COME TO BELIEVE, AS THE SECOND STEP SUGGESTS, THAT A POWER GREATER THAN MYSELF CAN RESTORE ME TO SANITY?

TODAY I PRAY
May i see that my own behavior as a practicing alcoholic, a drug-user or a compulsive over-eater, could be described as "insane." For those still actively addicted, admitting to "insane" behavior is well-nigh impossible. I pray that I may continue to abhor the insanities and inanities of my addictive days. May others like me recognize their problems of addiction, find help in treatment and in The Program, and come to believe that a Higher Power can restore them to sanity.

TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
He restoreth my soul.

04/08 REFLECTIONS FOR THE DAY
Time after time, we learn in The Program, newcomers try to keep to themselves "shoddy facts" about their lives. Trying to avoid the humbling experience of the Fifth Step, they turn to a seemingly easier and softer way. Almost invariably, they slip. Having persevered with the rest of The Program, they then wonder why they fell. The probable reason is they never completed their housecleaning. They took inventory all right, but hung on to some of the worst items in stock. HAVE I ADMITTED TO GOD, TO MYSELF, AND TO ANOTHER HUMAN BEING THE EXACT NATURE OF MY WRONGS?

TODAY I PRAY
That I may include all of the sleaziness of my past, my cruelities and my dishonesties, in a complete moral inventory of myself. May I hold back nothing out of shame or pride, for the "exact nature" of my wrongs means just that -- a thorough and exact recounting of past mistakes and character flaws. We have been provided with an appropriate "dumping-ground." May I use it as it was intended. May all my costumes of the past, be foundation "fill" on which to build a new life.

TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
Trash can be a foundation for treasures.

04/06 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY
What do we say to a person who has slipped, or one who calls for help? We can carry the message, if they're willing to listen; we can share our experience, strength and hope. Perhaps most important thing we can do, however, is to tell the person that we love him or her, that we're truly happy he or she is back, and that we want to help all we can. And we must mean it. CAN I STILL "GO TO SCHOOL" AND CONTINUE TO LEARN FROM THE MISTAKES AND ADVERSITITES OF OTHERS?

TODAY I PRAY
May I always have enough love to welcome back to the group someone who has slipped. May I listen to that person's story-of-woe, humbly. For there, but for my Higher Power, go I. May I learn from others' mistakes and pray that I will not re-enact them.

TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
Sobriety is never fail-safe.

SONG OF THE WEEK

"I found someone" By Cher

Don't you know
So many things, they come and go
Like your words that once rang true
Just like the love I thought I found in you
And I remember the thunder
Talkin' 'bout that fire in your eyes
But you walked away, when I needed you most

Now, maybe baby, maybe baby
I found someone
To take away the heartache
To take away the loneliness
I've been feelin' since you've been gone
Since you've been gone

Dry your eyes
I never could bear to see you cry
Some day your love will shine through
And show you the feelings that ya never really knew
But baby don't ya loose that thunder
Talkin' 'bout that fire in your eyes
You're lookin' at me, but you still don't believe

Now, maybe baby, maybe baby
I found someone
To take away the heartache
To take away the loneliness
I've been feelin' since you've been gone
Since you've been gone

Too long on the border line
Wondering if your love was really mine
But you left me with open eyes
And when I realized

Now, maybe baby, maybe baby
I found someone
To take away the heartache
To take away the loneliness
I've been feelin' since you've been gone
Since you've been gone
