Daily Practice - November
November 1
Practice of the Day- BB pg 44-45 Ch 4 We Agnostics: If a mere code of morals or a better philosophy of life were sufficient to overcome alcoholism, many of us would have recovered long ago. But we found that such codes and philosophies did not save us, no matter how much we tried. We could wish to be moral, we could wish to be philosophically comforted, in fact, we could will these things with all our might, but the needed power wasn't there. Our human resources, as marshalled by the will, were not sufficient; they failed utterly. Lack of power, that was our dilemma. We had to find a power by which we could live, and it had to be a Power greater than ourselves. Obviously. But where and how were we to find this Power? Well, that's exactly what this book is about. Its main object is to enable you to find a Power greater than yourself which will solve your problem........... -Tom- my sponsor asked me “do you completely understand and accept that the best you could do got you to your bottom? “ Begrudgingly, I said yes, it really made me angry but that didn’t take away from the fact that, on my own power, I failed. He then said “ ok, since you don’t have the power to not drink and change your life, doesn’t it make logical sense that we will need to seek that Power, outside of yourself?” I said yes. We then Continued on with the reading. I pray that today I remember that my only problem is staying close to my Higher Power. I stick with Him, do His Work and He solves my problem
