Live Serenely
When a drunk has a terrific hangover
because he drank heavily yesterday, he cannot live well today. But there is
another kind of hangover which we all experience whether we are drinking or not.
That is the emotional hangover, the direct result of yesterday's and sometimes
today's excesses of negative emotion - anger, fear, jealousy, and the
like. If we would live serenely today and tomorrow, we certainly need to
eliminate these hangovers. This doesn't mean we need to wander morbidly around
in the past. It requires an admission and correction of errors -
now.

"We have no desire to convince anyone that there is only one way
by which faith can be acquired. If what we have learned and felt and seen
means anything at all, it means that all of us, whatever our race, creed, or
color are the children of a living Creator with whom we may form a
relationship upon simple and understandable terms as soon as we are willing
and honest enough to try."

A.A. Thought for the Day
Alcohol is poison to the alcoholic.
Poison is not too strong a word, because alcoholism leads eventually to the
death of the alcoholic. It may be a quick death or a slow death. When we go by
package stores and see various kinds of liquor all dressed up in fancy packages
to make it look attractive, we should always make it a point to say to ourselves
so we'll never forget it: "That stuffs all poison to me." And it is. Alcohol
poisoned our lives for a long time. Do I know that since I'm an alcoholic all
liquor is poison to me?
Meditation for the Day
I
must somehow find the means of coming nearer to God. That is what really
matters. I must somehow seek the true bread of life, which is communion with
Him. I must grasp for the truth at the center of all worship. This central truth
is all that matters. All forms of worship have this communion with God as their
purpose and goal.
Prayer for the Day
I
pray that I may meet God in quiet communion. I pray that I may partake of the
soul-food that God has provided for me.
