Friday April 10th reflection

AA opens up a new world. But ONE drink wrecks it all.  Question: Do I want to go back to that world?  Sometimes I do. Life on life's terms isn't simple and uncomplicated. Sometimes even though it will kill me. I would go back. That's why I need this so much.

I get where the writer is coming from. and I hear it all over the rooms. but if I was that organized and logical I wouldn't be here in the first place. so there's that. The meditation today opines that pride shuts the door to God love.

APRIL 10—AA Thought for the Day When I came into AA, I came into a new world. A sober world. A world of sobriety, peace, serenity, and happiness. But I know that if I take just one drink, I’ll go right back into that old world. That alcoholic world. That world of drunkenness, conflict, and misery. That alcoholic world is not a pleasant place for an alcoholic to live in. Looking at the world through the bottom of a whiskey glass is no fun after you’ve become an alcoholic. Do I want to go back to that alcoholic world? Meditation for the Day Pride stands sentinel at the door of the heart and shuts out the love of God. God can only dwell with the humble and the obedient. Obedience to God’s will is the key unlocking the door to God’s kingdom. You cannot obey God to the best of your ability without in time realizing God’s love and responding to that love. The rough stone steps of obedience lead up to where the mosaic floor of love and joy is laid. Where God’s spirit is, there is your home. There is heaven for you. Prayer for the Day I pray that God may make His home in my humble and obedient heart. I pray that I may obey His guidance to the best of my ability.
