Practice of the Day- BB pg 13-14- Ch 1- Bill’s Story: My friend promised when these things were done I would enter upon a new relationship with my Creator; that I would have the elements of a new way of living which answered all my problems. Belief in the power of God, plus enough willingness, honesty and humility to establish and maintain the new order of things, were the essential requirements. Simple, but not easy; a price had to be paid. It meant destruction of self-centeredness. I must turn in all things to the Father of Light who presides over us all. -Tom- at the beginning of the paragraph, when he says “my friend promised when these things were done”. The things he is talking about is Steps 1 through 12. My sponsor told me that AA is a place where we learn to Live without drinking, not a place to learn to stop drinking. You see, my problem was not drinking, drinking was my solution. My problem was, I did not know how to move through and live my life without drinking. I needed a new way of Living, obviously, my way did not work. I can ask myself, “is the way I am living my life, working for me and my sobriety?” If your answer is yes, then Continue staying sober, Living, Loving, learning, kicking ass and growing along the way. If your answer is no, then give our design for Living a shot, you have nothing to lose. Today I pray for the strength to choose to be Humble so that I will not have to be Humbled.
