A DAILY REPRIEVE
What we really have is a daily reprieve contingent on the
maintenance of our spiritual
condition.
ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 85
Maintaining my spiritual condition is like working out every day,
planning for the
marathon, swimming laps, jogging. It's staying in good shape
spiritually, and that requires
prayer and meditation. The single most important way for me to
improve my conscious
contact with a Higher Power is to pray and meditate. I am as
powerless over alcohol as I
am to turn back the waves of the sea; no human force had the power
to overcome my
alcoholism. Now I am able to breathe the air of joy, happiness and
wisdom. I have the
power to love and react to events around me with the eyes of a faith
in things that are not
readily apparent. My daily reprieve means that, no matter how
difficult or painful
things appear today, I can draw on the power of the program to stay
liberated from my
cunning, baffling and powerful illness.

| people pop in and out to contribute to whatever someone is talking
about.
some folks are nasty, some are wonderful, and some are just weird.
this is NOT AA, nor should it be used as a substitute for a meeting,
imo.
welcome kevin!

Hi there,
My advice to you is stick around, read everything and from what you
read eventually form your own opinion. If you're here because you're
seeking help to overcome a drinking problem, maybe if you post about
it you'll get replies that you'll find helpful to you.
JB
