Default Reflections for Every Day - November

November 1

Today's Thought:

Oh, I believed there was a God I just didn't believe He ever did anything for me so why should He do anything for me now. It took a while for me to realize that with my past history of 30 years drinking and driving the fact I was still alive was proof enough that God had been doing for me all my life.

Today's Thought:

The legacy of Unity is cast to the wind each time another faction of AA, however it wishes to individualize itself (i.e, age, race, sexual persuasion, mental health status), detaches itself from the whole.

November 3

Today's Thought:

I realized that I was going to have to walk the talk. I got scared. I didn't know what to do. I didn't go to meetings for a couple of weeks and I was nuts. I went back to meetings and really began to listen. The first thing I did was get a sponsor.

Today's Thought:

The disease of addiction has been described as the inability to tell the true from the false -- our minds lie. This seems particularly true when it comes to that infamous crossroads of "perhaps just one..."

Today's Thought:

It all keeps coming back to the fact that NOBODY really knows the 'best' way to treat alcoholism, or even if there IS one; I know what worked for me, and others what worked for them, but nobody knows what will work for everybody.

Today's Thought:

It's extremely rare today to find an alcoholic under the age of, say, 55 or so who didn't have some experience with other drugs. I see my experiences with those other things as simply a different manifestation of my alcoholism.

Today's Thought:

Without page 119 in the Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, I probably would have made the same poor judgement in not realizing the possibility of getting involved with the wrong person. I have seen too many boy meets girl on AA campus trying to get each other sober and instead one or the other or both getting drunk.

Today's Thought:

You have to be willing to see what needs to be changed and then act on that. It won't work if you can't humble yourself and see where the problems lie within yourself.

Today's Thought:

The whole purpose of writing the book was so that the message and the specific program would not get lost through the passing of word of mouth, and so that those that did not have the chance to get to New York or Akron or Cleveland, OH would be able to stop drinking using the program of AA without the benefit of meetings.

Today's Thought:

I went into rehab, and believe me, it did change my life, I didn't think I could go six days sober, I just celebrated six years, It is alot of hard work and dedication but well worth it.

Today's Thought:

I hope others can find a less trying way to have their spiritual experience. The intense pain of the despair seemed to be the catalyst for whatever the experience was. Worth having, but I'd rather not have to induce another.

Today's Thought:

A lot of people only get sober when they have lost everything and everyone. It's true that at first, people tend to get worse, but when they look around and see themselves alone with the bottle, they get a bit of a wake up call.

Today's Thought:

I wish I had had the nerve to protect my children from the devastating effects of alcoholism in the home. Had you been "nice" you could end up with children who are addicts/alcoholics or just plain dysfunctional by the time they are five years old as I did.

Today's Thought:

Just because someone has their butt parked in a chair at an AA meeting doesn't mean they are working a good program or even that they are a decent human being for that matter. It's quality of sobriety I look for in a sponsor not how much "time" they have.

Today's Thought:

It seems to me that the Unity part of the triangle can only be reinforced through meetings. How can one be part of a fellowship if one always sits at home? And, it seems to me, that one can't be of service also. It's at A.A. meetings that I learn about upcoming functions and events.
