There are two important things we have to do if we want to get sober and stay sober. First, having admitted that we're helpless before alcohol, we have to turn our alcoholic problem over to God and trust Him to take care of it for us. This means asking Him every morning for the strength to stay sober that day and thanking Him every night. It means really leaving the problem in God's hands and not reaching out and taking the problem back to ourselves. Second, having given our drink problem to God, we must cooperate with Him by doing something about it ourselves. Am I doing these two things?
Meditation for the Day ~
I must prepare myself by doing each day what I can to develop spiritually and to help others to do so. God tests me and trains me and bends me to His will. If I am not properly trained, I cannot meet the test when it comes. I must want God's will for me above all else. I must not expect to have what I am not prepared for. This preparation consists of quiet communion with God every day and gradually gaining the strength I need.
Prayer for the Day ~
I pray that I may really try to do God's will in all my affairs. I pray that I may do all I can to help others find God's will for them.

With willingness my HP teaches me to grow up. It teaches me to bear responsibility as I open up. I'm only given that which I can handle & if I open my heart & ask for the strength, I'm able to help with more. Thank God for this reciprocal power. Thanks for your reply, Ryan. I wish you a sober day Danielle x
