Today's AA daily reflection: "no maudlin guilt
..." Thank goodness it's a one-day programme.
Learning to live to good conscience offers a daily opportunity to make progress and we are not looking to be perfect, simply we are imperfectly perfect! Every day we will be pulled in many directions, the inner voice muttering, the outer world chattering and somewhere we find balance in the moment...
Twelve practical steps for practical living. In step four, an inventory of our liabilities and our assets. Step six, liabilities or defects of character which we explore daily and assets we develop in step seven again developing each and every day. My liabilities, fear without foundation, putting on a brave face to cover up shame and guilt and not being good enough and ego, eggshell brittle easily smashed by harsh moments. My assets, developing a faith in doing the next right thing, courage to keep on changing and building confidence by learning from my mistakes each and every day...
In today's AA reflection, it is all about doing, being free to make choices and about endeavour. It is about making good and repairing where we can, learning from what happened and doing things different. It is all about working out what is good today, what we can do and cannot do and working in a way which helps us keep to good conscience and for the good of everyone.
It's not about me, it is about everyone today...
A peaceful start my morning, my mood? I haven't developed a mood yet! Which makes me smile and so my feelings and mood are pretty good in the moment.
Morning routine, step one, powerlessness over people places and things and everything can be discussed in what next today. Step two, a day of sanity and happiness on offer as long as I don't think I'm in charge. Let go and let in the world, people places and things so I get greater understanding of what is possible today. And the serenity prayer for can do and cannot do and learning the wisdom as we go moment by moment...

I do not speak for Alcoholics Anonymous I speak for myself. Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of unique and authentic people who speak for themselves where they will to share experience, strength and hope about recovery on a daily basis. Anonymity affords sanctuary to find how to live sober and be open, honest and willing to learn life day by day. For me "truth," "love" and "wisdom" offer the best spiritual experience by living reality today. Into the fabric of recovery from alcoholism are woven the
Twelve Steps and the
Twelve Traditions, steps to be open, honest and willing to learn, traditions to live unity, service and recovery.
