*~*^Big Book Quote^*~*
". . . we
tried to shape a sane and sound ideal for our future sex life. We
subjected each relation to this test - was it selfish or not? We asked
God to mold our ideals and help us to live up to them. We remembered
always that our sex powers were God-given and therefore good, neither to
be used lightly or selfishly nor to be despised and loathed."

A.A. Thought for the Day
The
A.A. way of living is not an easy one. But it's an adventure in living
that is really worthwhile. And it's so much better than our old drunken
way of living that there's no comparison. Our lives without A.A. would
be worth nothing. With A.A., we have a chance to live reasonably good
lives. It's worth the battle, no matter how tough the going is from day
to day. Isn't it worth the battle?
Meditation for the Day
The
spiritual life has two parts. One is the life apart, the life of prayer
and quiet communion with God. You spend this part of your life apart
with God. Every day your mind can be set in the right direction so that
your thoughts will be of the right kind. The other is the life impart -
imparting to others what you have learned from your own meditative
experience. The victories you have won over yourself through the help of
God can be shared with others. You can help them by imparting to them
some of the victory and security that you have gained in your life
apart.
Prayer for the Day
I pray that I may grow strong from my times apart with God. I pray that I may pass on some of this strength to others.
