I love this, thank you for sharing! Feel free to post any readings that help you daily in here too. It works better when we all work together!

LISTEN, SHARE AND PRAY
When working with a man and his family, you should take care not to participate in their quarrels. You may spoil your chance of being helpful if you do.
ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 100
When trying to help a fellow alcoholic, Iâve given in to an impulse to give advice, and perhaps thatâs inevitable. But allowing others the right to be wrong reaps its own benefits. The best I can doâand it sounds easier than it is to put into practiceâis to listen, share personal experience, and pray for others.

âWhat part of my daily routine quietly supports my recovery more than I realize?â
Starting my day with the readings. With gratitude. Connecting to my HP & other alcoholics, every single morning. Doing my daily review and these writings at night to share the next morning. I do this every single day, and Iâm still sober-I think being consistent with this daily routine helps me more than Iâve realized in my recovery.

PRINCIPLES, NOT PERSONALITIES
The way our âworthyâ alcoholics have sometimes tried to judge the âless worthyâ is, as we look back on it, rather comical. Imagine, if you can, one alcoholic judging another!
THE LANGUAGE OF THE HEART, p. 37
Who am I to judge anyone? When I first entered the Fellowship I found that I liked everyone. After all, A.A. was going to help me to a better way of life without alcohol. The reality was that I couldnât possibly like everyone, nor they me. As Iâve grown in the Fellowship, Iâve learned to love everyone just from listening to what they had to say. That person over there, or the one right here, may be the one God has chosen to give me the message I need for today. I must always remember to place principles above personalities.

âHow do I know when Iâm spiritually off-centerâand what helps bring me back?â
When Iâm cranky af, self-centered, fearful, angry, etc I know Iâm not spiritually fit. Thank God I have this program & my sponsor that helps me work through those things quickly so I can get on track again. Itâs up to be me to reach out, ask, connect and be willing to stop the suffering-the solutions are given freely to me but it only works if I work it.
Ah yes⊠I have definitely experienced being spiritually off-center. Usually when I am judgmental, irritable, impatient, cranky, or full of self, I know I am not walking in the footsteps of my HP.
Usually what helps me get back to being spiritually fit, is prayer first (asking for guidance and help in being rid of what I am feeling in that moment), and then i turn to helping others. Getting out of self i find is one of the best ways to get back in tune with my HP
I can tell Iâm spiritually off-center when I simply havenât made time for recovery including the in-person giving and getting of support that I find in my home group. This week I worked a lot of unexpected extra hours due to the flooding and holiday staff shortages, and I really felt the lack of consistency in my routine. Also, sleep deprivation made it worse. Tonight Iâm watching the hockey game with friends, but taking time to be here, and to call my sponsor to catch up, too. I donât want to drift too far from whatâs been working.

RECOVERY, UNITY, SERVICE
Our Twelfth Stepâcarrying the messageâis the basic service that AAâs Fellowship gives; this is our principal aim and the main reason for our existence.
THE LANGUAGE OF THE HEART, p. 160
I thank God for those who came before me, those who told me not to forget the Three Legacies: Recovery, Unity and Service. In my home group, the Three Legacies were described on a sign which said: âYou take a three-legged stool, try to balance it on only one leg, or two. Our Three Legacies must be kept intact. In Recovery, we get sober together; in Unity, we work together for the good of our Steps and Traditions; and through Serviceâwe give away freely what has been given to us.â
One of the chief gifts of my life has been to know that I will have no message to give, unless I recover in unity with A.A. principles.

âWhat does 'being presentâ actually look like for me today?"
It means having my head be where my feet are. It means living in the moment and not in my head. It means not multi-tasking, even though I think Iâm great at it-I really do miss a lot and Iâm not fully present. My attention is divided. Today I will have my focus be on being consciously present in each moment as often as possible.
The holidays are such a loaded time to maintain perfect presence. Full of obligations, imaginary or real, and expectations. Confounding past and present. Clumsy inability to meet family as they are, changed, and not forever in their old scripted roles. Last night I actually downloaded the list of neutral responses to keep on hand when talking to relatives. That, and keeping close to my HP and remembering to stay in integrity and congruence. To Thine Own Self be True. Go bearing forgiveness, and wear the holiday season like a loose garment, bc it is fleeting.

A âSANE AND HAPPY USEFULNESSâ
We have come to believe He would like us to keep our heads in the clouds with Him, but that our feet ought to be firmly planted on earth. That is where our fellow travelers are, and that is where our work must be done. These are the realities for us. We have found nothing incompatible between a powerful spiritual experience and a life of sane and happy usefulness.
ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 130
All the prayer and meditation in the world will not help me unless they are accompanied by action. Practicing the principles in all my affairs shows me the care that God takes in all parts of my life. God appears in my world when I move aside, and allow Him to step into it.

âWhat is one gentle truth I can tell myself today?â
Itâs ok to show up exactly as you are, you are enough.

AT PEACE WITH LIFE
Every day is a day when we must carry the vision of Godâs will into all of our activities. âHow can I best serve TheeâThy will (not mine) be done.â
ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 85
I read this passage each morning, to start off my day, because it is a continual reminder to âpractice these principles in all my affairs.â When I keep Godâs will at the forefront of my mind, I am able to do what I should be doing, and that puts me at peace with life, with myself and with God.

Later today I will join a local meeting, which runs holiday or not, to be available for the one who still suffers. Iâm so grateful for a place to fellowship with others who practice, imperfectly, acceptance and responsibility through the common framework of the 12 steps. I keep being called, this season, to the story of the three wise men, the Magi, who traveled, it is told, by faith and guided by star-light. They may have been scoffed, but they remained to pray. Steadfast and sure. Just as described the in last line of the Doctorâs opinion, which was moved from the back of the BB, to the front, may I pay attention and learn, with honesty, openness and willingness.

ACCEPTING SUCCESS OR FAILURE
Furthermore, how shall we come to terms with seeming failure or success? Can we now accept and adjust to either without despair or pride? Can we accept poverty, sickness, loneliness, and bereavement with courage and serenity? Can we steadfastly content ourselves with the humbler, yet sometimes more durable, satisfactions when the brighter, more glittering achievements are denied us?
TWELVE STEPS AND TWELVE TRADITIONS, p. 112
After I found A.A. and stopped drinking, it took a while before I understood why the First Step contained two parts: my powerlessness over alcohol, and my lifeâs unmanageability. In the same way, I believed for a long time that, in order to be in tune with the Twelve Steps, it was enough for me âto carry this message to alcoholics.â That was rushing things. I was forgetting that there were a total of Twelve Steps and that the Twelfth Step also had more than one part. Eventually I learned that it was necessary for me to âpractice these principlesâ in all areas of my life. In working all the Steps thoroughly, I not only stay sober and help someone else to achieve sobriety, but also I transform my difficulty with living into a joy of living.

âIf my Higher Power (or inner wisdom) were guiding just one decision today, what would it be nudging me toward?â
Rest. Recovery. Healing. Slowing down. And my intention is to do that most of today.
My HP is nudging me to pay heed to the natural cycles of the year, and to spend more of these dark, wet days here in a quieter contemplation. Yes, there are festive occasions for dispelling the darkness together with music and bright colored lights and great feasts, but there are also times to rest and digest, alone. The waiting of Advent is over, but now is the greater challenge of treating each fellow traveler with the same love and care. I find it painstaking and slow, deliberate work, and often regret my personal failings in my nightly review and offer amends. Even when I have to slow it way down, I never abandon the assignment I accepted to find physical and emotional sobriety and to share the simple toolkit with others who seek it.
This was my first listen today, simply selected bc it was the most recent offering before Advent from my favorite Monk-in-Docs. More evidence for me that in sobriety there are no coincidences.
