Pancake Marathon:

The more I know to become able to practice the principles in all my affairs, to be able to place principles before personalities; For that seems to be the ultimate key, to be able to keep my peace of mind by never stealing anybody else's: as to be able to help them through me being a leader, so that they may never do that to anyone else, for some do not have a strong foundation and will offer anything because they do not have a standing because they did not manifest what is by working towards a strong Foundation to be able to have anything to stand for and still to Simply know that: one must practice the principles in all their affairs by placing principles before personalities.

A.A. Thought For The Day

This sober world is a pleasant place for an alcoholic to live in. Once you've gotten out of your alcoholic fog, you find that the world looks good. You find real friends in
A.A. You get a job. You feel good in the morning. You eat a good breakfast and you do a good day's work at home or outside. And your family loves you and welcomes you because you're sober. Am I convinced that this sober world is a pleasant place for an alcoholic to live in?

Meditation For The Day: Our need is God's opportunity. First we must recognize our need. Often this means helplessness before some weakness or sickness and an admission of our need for help. Next comes faith in the power of God's spirit, available to us to meet that need. Before any need can be met, our faith must find expression. That expression of faith is all God needs to manifest His power in our lives. Faith is the key that unlocks the storehouse of God's resources.
Prayer For The Day: I pray that I may first admit my needs. I pray that then I may have faith that God will meet those needs, in the way which is best for me.

"All spiritual awakenings have some things in common. Common elements include an end to loneliness and a sense of direction in our lives." Basic Text p. 48
Some kinds of spiritual experiences take place when we confront something larger than we are. We suspect that forces beyond our understanding are operating. We see a fleeting glimpse of the big picture and find humility in that moment.
Our journey through the Twelve Steps will bring about a spiritual experience of the same nature, only more profound and lasting. We undergo a continual process of ego-deflation, while at the same time we become more conscious of the larger perspective. Our view of the world expands to the point where we no longer possess an exaggerated sense of our own importance.
Through our new awareness, we no longer feel isolated from the rest of the human race. We may not understand why the world is the way it is or why people sometimes treat one another so savagely. But we do understand suffering and, in recovery, we can do our best to alleviate it. When our individual contribution is combined with others, we become an essential part of a grand design. We are connected at last.
Just for today: I am but one person in the entire scheme of things. I humbly accept my place in the big picture.

. . . where alcohol has been involved, we have been strangely insane. ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 38
Alcoholism required me to drink, whether I wanted to or not. Insanity dominated my life and was the essence of my disease. It robbed me of the freedom of choice over drinking and, therefore, robbed me of all other choices.
When I drank, I was unable to make effective choices in any part of my life and life became unmanageable. I ask God to help me understand and accept the full meaning of the disease of alcoholism.
