ourselves is the essence of spiritual experience. Our more
religious members call it ‘God-consciousness.’ “

Obstacles In Our Path

For Today:
“Alcoholics Anonymous, I was told, is a spiritual program,
not a religious one. Through my years of darkness, some
spark of spirit remained in me, helped me to survive until
I found my way into A.A. Then, nurtured by the program,
that inner spirit grew, deepened, until it filled the emptiness
I had so long felt inside. Step by step I moved to a spiritual
awakening. Step by step I cleared up the past and got on
with the present.”
Alcoholics Anonymous, 4th edition, pg. 346

The Family Afterward

For Today:
“I would not willingly have stopped the course my life
was on. I needed harsh reality to see the damage that
alcohol abuse causes, in so many ways. I needed to be
forced into acceptance and humility.”
Alcoholics Anonymous, 4th Edition, pg. 475
Twice Gifted

For Today:
“Following the principles laid out in the Big Book has not
always been comfortable, nor will I claim perfection. I have
yet to find a place in the Big Book that says, ‘Now you have
completed the Steps, have a nice life.’ The program is a plan
for a lifetime of daily living. There have been occasions where
the temptation to slack off has won. I view each of these as
learning opportunities.”
Alcoholics Anonymous, 4th Edition, pg. 317

For Today:
“Most of us have seen death close up. We have known that kind of
suffering that wrenches the bones. But we have also known the sort
of hope that makes the heart sing.”

Finding Your Own Way

For Today:
“Why, at this particular point in history, has God
chosen to communicate His healing grace to so
many of us? Every aspect of this global unfolding
can be related to a single crucial word. The word
is ‘communication.’ There has been a lifesaving
communication among ourselves, with the world
around us, and with God.”
