Good evening ya'll!!
'When we retire at night, we constructively reivew our day. Where we resentful, selfish, dishonest or afriad? do we owe an apology? Have we kept something to ourselves which should have been discussed with anohter person at once? Were we kind and loving toward all? What could we have done beter? Were we thinking of oursleves most of the time? Or were we thinknig ofwhat we could do for others, of must be carefuly not to drift into worry, remorse or morbid reflection, for that would diminish our usefulness to other. After making our review we ask God's forgiveness and inquire what corrective measures should have been taken.' pg 86 AA big book.
Today reminds me of the AA Promises:
If we a re painstaking about this phase of our development, we will be amazed before we are half way through. We are going to know a new freedom and a new happiness. We will not regre the past nor wish to shut the door on it. We will comprehend the word serenity and we will know peace. No matter how far down the scale we have gone, we will see how our experience can benefit others. That feeling of uselessness and self-pity will disappear. We will lose interest in selfish things and gain interest in our fellow.Self-seeking will slip away. Our whole attidtude and outlook on life will change. Fear of people and economic insercurity will leave us. We will intuitively know ho to handle situations which used to baffle us. We will suddenly realize the God is doing for us what we could not do for ourselves.
Are these extravagant promises? We think not. They are being fulfulled among us sometime quickly, sometimes slowly. They will always materialize if we work for them.
