Daily Reflections

January 26, 2025

RIGOROUS HONESTY

Who wishes to be rigorously honest and tolerant? Who wants to confess his faults to another and make restitution for harm done? Who cares anything about a Higher Power, let alone meditation and prayer? Who wants to sacrifice time and energy in trying to carry A.A.’s message to the next sufferer? No, the average alcoholic, self-centered in the extreme, doesn’t care for this prospect — unless he has to do these things in order to stay alive himself.

TWELVE STEPS AND TWELVE TRADITIONS, p. 24

I am an alcoholic. If I drink I will die. My, what power, energy, and emotion this simple statement generates in me! But it’s really all I need to know for today. Am I willing to stay alive today? Am I willing to stay sober today? Am I willing to ask for help and am I willing to be a help to another suffering alcoholic today? Have I discovered the fatal nature of my situation? What must I do, today, to stay sober?

Grapevine Daily Quote

January 25, 2025

“I didn’t need to learn how to meditate before meditating. It turned out to be one of those learn-as-you-go things — just as learning how to stay sober is part of staying sober a day at a time.”

“Trusting the Silence,” Anonymous, November 1991, Beginners’ Book: Getting and Staying Sober in AA
