Stream of good
I am reminded of my choice to be in the stream of good. Many practices call it Gods will. I have gone through many experiences which brought me consequences. Some consequences I preferred and others I did not. After unlearning the guilt and shame response and replacing it with simple observations with no judgments of […]
Recovery, unity, service
In the readings today, I am reminded that these are the three legacies of AA. However, I have highjacked them to be the foundation of my daily life. Today I understand these three to be the Divine design for my life. I have discovered how being willing to maintain my recovery, live in acceptance of […]
Taking the time
I am reminded of the importance of taking the time to become consciously aware of the Divine Source. When I have started my day in a hurry and am focused on what is coming in the next few hours, I become frustrated, annoyed, worried, and sometimes angry. I have ruined many chances to be of […]
First thing
I am reminded to become aware of the Creator as I wake for the day. In my past I would run my life on self-will until I had created so much chaos that I would cry out to God to help me. I have repeated this pattern until I realized I needed only to make […]
Prayer

Pain relief
I am reminded how I used alcohol to relieve any pain I had: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual.

Peace
I am reminded this morning of the peace which surpasses all understanding. I used to think it was an impossible state which was reserved for those humans who were much holier than I. Today I understand where the peace comes from and how to attain it. The peace beyond all understanding comes from communing with […]
Experimentation.
I am reminded how I have learned most things about life through experimentation. I experimented with drugs, alcohol, adultery, agnosticism, religiosity, self-righteousness, arrogance, hatred, and the like. I gained an incredible amount of knowledge from each of those experiments. I discovered what I do and do not prefer. I found what brings me out of […]
Always there.
I am reminded that the strength God provides is always available to me while I am in tune to God’s will for my life. It has been my experience that when I am not tuned into the Frequency of God, I will get spiritually exhausted. When I take the time to stop, breathe, make my […]
