April 1, 2013 - Step by Step


Step by Step
Monday, April 1, 2013 
Today, I will put my faith in the Program and my Higher Power to work by offering to someone else what I think I need or want for myself. Today, I will hand over to my Higher Power all that is selfish and which impedes or blocks my progress, my growth, and extend a hand of service to someone in need. Borrowing from Mother Teresa, if I grieve, I will find someone who needs consoling; if I am hungry, I will find someone to; if I am thirsty, I will quench another's thirst; and, if I am cold, I will give warmth to someone else. If someone seeking release from active alcoholism calls on me, I will not turn him away because I am too busy or for any other reason and instead offer what I have to offer - hope, promise and rebirth in a Program that has been passed on to me through grace. Today, I will accept that I can keep what I have been gifted with in this Program only by giving it away. And our common journey continues. Step by step. - Chris M., 2013
