DAILY REFLECTION – AN OPEN MIND
18 October 2024
AN OPEN MIND
True humility and an open mind can lead us to faith, . . .
TWELVE STEPS AND TWELVE TRADITIONS, p. 33
My alcoholic thinking led me to believe that I could control my drinking, but I couldn’t. When I came to A.A., I realized that God was speaking to me through my group. My mind was open just enough to know that I needed His help. A real, honest acceptance of AA. took more time, but with it came humility. I know how insane I was, and I am ex- tremely grateful to have my sanity restored to me and to be a sober alcoholic. The new, sober me is a much better person than I ever could have been without A.A.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
It was only a matter of being willing to believe in a
Power greater than myself. Nothing more was required
of me to make my beginning. Pg12
