Jan. 18, 2017 - Readings in Recovery: Twenty-Four Hours a Day

Twenty-Four Hours a Day

AA Thought for the Day
The new life can't be built in a day. We have to take the program slowly, a little at a time. Our subconscious minds have to be re-educated. We have to learn to think differently. We have to get used to sober thinking instead of alcoholic thinking. Anyone who tries it knows that the old alcoholic thinking is apt to come back on us when we least expect it. Building a new life is a slow process, but it can be done if we really follow the AA program.

Am I building a new life on the foundation of sobriety?

Meditation for the Day
I will pray daily for faith, for it is God's gift. On faith alone depends the answer to my prayers. God gives it to me in response to my prayers, because it is a necessary weapon for me to possess for the overcoming of all adverse conditions and the accomplishment of all good in my life. Therefore, I will work at strengthening my faith.

Prayer for the Day
I pray that I may so think and live as to feed my faith in God. I pray that my faith may grow because with faith God's power becomes available to me.
