This sober world is a pleasant place for an alcoholic to live in. Once you've got out of your alcoholic fog, you find that the world looks good. You find real friends in A.A. You get a job. You feel good in the morning. You eat a good breakfast and you do a good day's work at home or outside. And your family loves you and welcomes you because you're sober. Am I convinced that this sober world is a pleasant place for an alcoholic to live in?
Meditation for the Day ~
Our need is God's opportunity. First we must recognize our need. Often this means helplessness before some weakness or sickness and an admission of our need for help. Next comes faith in the power of God's spirit, available to us to meet that need. Before any need can be met, our faith must find expression. That expression of faith is all God needs to manifest HIs power in our lives. Faith is the key that unlocks the storehouse of God's resources.
Prayer for the Day ~
I pray that I may first admit my needs. I pray that then I may have faith that God will meet those needs, in the way which is best for me.

Ain't that the truth I've been happier and in good oods more often than I had in years. Now I realize that at day 19 I'm still riding as I heard it called "the recovery lightning bolt" but right now life is better than it has been in a long time
