We're so glad to be free from liquor that we do something about it. We get into action. We come to meetings regularly. We go out and try to help other alcoholics. We pass on the good news whenever we get a chance. In a spirit of thankfulness to God, we get into action. The A.A. program is simple. Submit yourself to God, find release from liquor, and get into action. Do these things and keep doing them and you're all set for the rest of your life. Have I got into action?
Meditation for the Day ~
God's eternal quest must be the tracking down of souls. You should join Him in His quest. Through briars, through waste places, through glades, up mountain heights, down into valleys. God leads you. But ever with His leadership goes your helping hand. Glorious to follow where the Leader goes. You are seeking lost sheep. You are bringing the good news into places where it has not been known before. You may not know which soul you will help, but you can leave all results to God. Just go with Him in His eternal quest for souls.
Prayer for the Day ~
I pray that I may follow God in His eternal quest for souls. I pray that I may offer God my helping hand.

I had a few reservations re posting this with its strident God references & searching for souls, etc but I understand its essential message & will interpret it as ~
I am responsible . . . When anyone, anywhere, reaches out for help, I want the hand of A.A. always to be there. And for that: I am responsible.
And as in keeping with AA's 12 traditions we seek to operate by the power of attraction rather than promotion. A person is a member when they say they are. We cannot carry the alcoholic, only the message.
Thankyou for helping me to stay sober Today, Danielle x
