Practice of the Day-
BB pg 52-
Ch 4- We Agnostics:
We had to ask ourselves why we shouldn't apply to our human problems this same readiness to change our point of view. We were having trouble with personal relationships, we couldn't control our emotional natures, we were a prey to misery and depression, we couldn't make a living, we had a feeling of uselessness, we were full of fear, we were unhappy, we couldn't seem to be of real help to other people - was not a basic solution of these bedevilments more important than whether we should see newsreels of lunar flight? Of course it was.
When we saw others solve their problems by a simple reliance upon the Spirit of the Universe, we had to stop doubting the power of God. Our ideas did not work. But the God idea did.

-Tom- One of the first fundamental components of sobriety I had to embrace was this:
My sponsor asked me “Did your way work?” The answer was a very obvious “No”.
I had tried to live life my way and that got me to my bottom. Therefore, the best I could do, on my own, crushed me and everyone and everything that I Loved, and I could not stop drinking.
I had to accept that Truth and then that enabled me to be in a position of attempting another way to live my life. And why not, I had nothing to lose.
I can ask myself “am I attempting to live the 12 Steps and be part of the Fellowship? Or, continuing to follow my own ideas on how I can stay sober?
If your answer is following the new way of practicing the 12 Steps and engaging in the Fellowship, then Continue staying sober and learning how to Live Life without drinking and drugging, one day at a time.
If you answer is that you are following your own ideas, well it is only a matter of time before you drink or drug again. No mystery there.
I pray that today I stay on the Planned program of recovery found in the BB and The Fellowship in AA
