Daily Reflections: RIGOROUS HONESTY

Who wishes to be rigorously honest and tolerant? Who wants to confess his faults to another and make restitution for harm done? Who cares anything about a Higher Power, let alone meditation and prayer?
Who wants to sacrifice time and energy in trying to carry A.A.'s message to the next sufferer? No, the average alcoholic, self-centered in the extreme, doesn't care for this prospect - unless he has to do these things in order to stay alive himself. TWELVE STEPS AND TWELVE TRADITIONS, p. 24
I am an alcoholic. If I drink I will die. My, what power, energy, and emotion this simple statement generates in me! But it's really all I need to know for today. Am I willing to stay alive today? Am I willing to stay sober today? Am I willing to ask for help and am I willing to be a help to another suffering alcoholic today? Have I discovered the fatal nature of my situation? What must I do, today, to stay sober?

NA Just For Today: Self-Centeredness

" The spiritual part of our disease is our total self-centeredness." Basic Text p. 20
What is self-centeredness? It is our belief that the world revolves around us. Our wishes, our demands are the only ones worth consideration. Our self-centered minds believe they are capable of getting everything they want if only they would be left to their own devices. SeIf-centeredness assumes total self sufficiency.
We say that self-centeredness is the spiritual part of our disease because the self-centered mind cannot conceive of anything greater or more important than itself. But there is a spiritual solution to our spiritual malady: the Twelve Steps of Narcotics Anonymous. The steps lead us away from self-centeredness and toward Godcenteredness.
We strip away our delusion of self-sufficiency by admitting our own powerlessness and seeking the aid of a Power greater than ourselves. We acknowledge the bankruptcy of our self-righteousness by admitting we've been wrong, making amends, and seeking knowledge of what's right from the God our understanding. And we deflate our overwhelming sense of self-importance by seeking to serve others, not only ourselves.
The self-centeredness afflicting our spirit can be treated with a spiritual solution: the Twelve Steps.
Just for today: My guidance and my strength comes from a Higher Power, not from my own self. I will practice the Twelve Steps to become more God-centered and less self-centered.

Recovery ACRONYMS:

I think that you have to have love to be able to see that its might be time to think so that we can see the wisdom that we have to keep pushing at times so that we don’t go nuts in times when we have to have trust that we all have moments when all we can do is to qtip, giving others the chance at love and to give them a hug.

Don't Use No Matter What so that we can see that doing it sober can be as getting out of our sticking thinking, so that we can see what is our part in this/what can we do to Live life on life's terms so that we then Live and Let Live, I would then say that Let It Begin With Me is then to see that someone has to get off the high horse and help someone else out, to then Let go and let God so we can then Learn to listen and listen to learn to see that all we really have to do is be in that moment to do as One Day At A Time; to what is simply, to get to a moment where we can be happy, but it is as to walk away with all being able to be happy.

Leaving it better then we found it and seeing our part.
I would say that life is to live and let live, as then seeing how we can (Tradition 7) can we leave it better then we found it.
