Every day is a day when we must carry the vision of God's will into all of our activities. ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 85
How do I maintain my spiritual condition? For me it's quite simple: on a daily basis I ask my Higher Power to grant me the gift of sobriety for that day! I have talked to many alcoholics who have gone back to drinking and I always ask them: "Did you pray for sobriety the day you took your first drink?" Not one of them said yes. As I practice Step Ten and try to keep my house in order on a daily basis, I have the knowledge that if I ask for a daily reprieve, it will be granted.

Hi Doll: Thanks for your daily posts! I so look forward to re-reading the daily reflections! I posted re: sobrietyspell, missing her! Well, for me, your sharing everyday helps me keep tabs on you!!heehee! This is a great reminder for me! Ive had my struggles with having a drink now and then and as you know keep fooling myself that it wont hurt..(as it was shared from Pete----YET!!!!) Well, i do pray to have the obsession taken away from me but still have to do this on a daily basis..The last two days I have convinced myself that, Tomorrow I'll have that drink. So far its worked!! One day at a time, pray to God that I wont drink, make some phone calls!!! It works if you work it! I cant wait until the day I dont even have to worry about that one!! In Gods time, as usual!! Have a great day!!! Lani Dang, I missed the online meeting AGAIN!! Just curious, who attends? Hopefully sat I'll make it....
