Celebrate Your Anniversary Here

SHOW NEWCOMERS HOW IT WORKS!!

Send your sober date and location to :

so...@yourdailyreprieve.com

I always thought that posting our locations with our anniversaries

was a great way to show newcomers that AA is all over the world.

So I wish you would send your locations with your anniversary dates. We don't celebrate for our own benefit.

We celebrate anniversaries to show the program works.

If we add our locations we get to show

that AA works EVERYWHERE!

1866 Total Years of Sobriety

‌

12&12

Step One - "We admitted we were powerless over alcohol--that our lives had become unmanageable."

Who cares to admit complete defeat? Practically no one, of course. Every natural instinct cries out against the idea of personal powerlessness. It is truly awful to admit that, glass in hand, we have warped our minds into such an obsession for destructive drinking that only an act of Providence can remove it from us.

p. 21

Twenty-Four Hours

A.A. Thought For The Day

When we were drinking most of us were full of pride and selfishness.

We believed we could handle our own affairs, even though we were

making a mess of our lives. We were very stubborn and didn't like to

take advice. We resented being told what to do. To us, humility looked like weakness. But when we came into A.A., we began to be humble. And we found out that humility gave us the power we needed to overcome drinking.

Have I learned that there is power in humility?

Meditation For The Day

I will come to God in faith and He will give me a new way of life. This

new way of life will alter my whole existence, the words I speak, the

influence I have. They will spring from the life within me. I see how

important is the work of a person who has this new way of life. The

words and the example of such a person can have a whole influence for good in the world.

Prayer For The Day

I pray that I may learn the principles of the good life. I pray that I may

meditate upon them and work at them, because they are eternal.

Meetings

Through going to meetings and listening, and occasionally speaking, through doing Twelfth Step work, whereby in helping others you are both the teacher and the student, by making many wonderful A.A. friends, I have been taught all the things in life that are worth having.

Daily Reflection

UNITED WE STAND

We learned that we had to fully concede to our innermost

selves that we were alcoholics. This is the first step in

recovery. The delusion that we are like other people, or

presently may be, has to be smashed.

ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 30

I came to Alcoholics Anonymous because I was no longer

able to control my drinking. It was either my wife's

complaining about my drinking, or maybe the sheriff forced

me to go to A.A. meetings, or perhaps I knew, deep down

inside, that I couldn't drink like others, but I was unwilling

to admit it because the alternative terrified me. Alcoholics

Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women united

against a common, fatal disease. Each one of our lives is

linked to every other, much like the survivors on a life raft

at sea. If we all work together, we can get safely to shore.

Pot Luck

As Bill Sees It

Groping Toward God, p. 323

"More than most people, I think, alcoholics want to know who they

are, what this life is about, whether they have a divine origin and an

appointed destiny, and whether there is a system of cosmic justice and love.

"It is the experience of many of us in the early stages of drinking to

feel that we have had glimpses of the Absolute and a heightened

feeling of identification with the cosmos. While these glimpses and

feelings doubtless have a validity, they are deformed and finally swept away in the chemical, spiritual, and emotional damage wrought by the alcohol itself.

"In A.A., and in many religious approaches, alcoholics find a great deal more of what they merely glimpse and felt while trying to grope their way toward God in alcohol."

Letter, 1960
