Starting Over, But Not From Scratch

I've been told I clean up nicely, but I wear a wife-beater everyday. Hopefully my truth is more fashion forward.

February 21 - reflection


Me- 

24 hour - February 20 reflection

Today's reading talks about how liquor I used to be fun. But now it's the enemy. Do I now realize that my main business is sobriety now? Yass! Sometimes I miss the days when school it the kids or marriage were the most important things in my life. Now my primary purpose is to stay sober and help others in the battle. I don't have any of the rest without this.

GETTING THE "SPIRITUAL ANGLE" 
How often do we sit in AA meetings and hear the speaker declare, "But I haven't yet got the spiritual angle." Prior to this statement, he had described a miracle of transformation which had occurred in him—not only his release from alcohol, but a complete change in his whole attitude toward life and the living of it It is apparent to nearly everyone else present that he has received a great gift; " . . . except that he doesn't seem to know it yet!" We well know that this questioning individual will tell us six months or a year hence that he has found faith in God. 
LANGUAGE OF THE HEART, p. 275 
A spiritual experience can be the realization that a life which once seemed empty and devoid of meaning is now joyous and full. In my life today, daily prayer and meditation, coupled with living the Twelve Steps, has brought about an inner peace and feeling of belonging which was missing when I was drinking.

Me- learning this whole this is a spiritual experience helped me get the spiritual angle. I too feel small at times but the program has many fixes for us. So long as I'm seeking God. I will find her.  And feeling small is appropriate in sight of how massive God is. And shows me everyday.

A RALLYING POINT 
Therefore, Step Two is the rallying point for all of us. Whether agnostic, atheist, or former believer, we can stand together on this Step. 
TWELVE STEPS AND TWELVE TRADITIONS, p. 33 
Author - I feel that A.A. is a God-inspired program and that God is at every A.A. meeting. I see, believe, and have come to know that A.A. works, because I have stayed sober today. I am turning my life over to A.A. and to God by going to an 
A.A. meeting. If God is in my heart and everyone else's, then I am a small part of a whole and I am not unique. If God is in my heart and He speaks to me through other people, then I must be a channel of God to other people. I should seek to do His will by living spiritual principles and 
my reward will be sanity and emotional sobriety.

Me- I'm following what the author is saying, but I'm not seeing how it relates. It's probably because I'm taking the LSAT tomorrow. But the authors words seem to speak of step three. And I agree. But as far as the text. The rallying point. I felt this in step two. And when I take my will back and have to go back to step two the rallying point is how I know I'll be okay. Because it's true in every story including mine. Understanding there is something bigger than me. With the perfect ability to make me better brings us all relief. Even before we hand it over. Knowing it's not my job. That there is a humugous force that is capable of miracles. Is wonderful.
