Siegel “This is a selfish program.” How many times have we heard this? It is true, of course. Whenever we make a Twelfth Step call we are doing it essentially for ourselves. We always benefit. God has given us this direct access to happiness. It is a lovely paradox that when we give, we also receive. We are always helped by trying to help another. Our decision to give love, then, can be a calculated one—we already know the results. This shouldn’t be our motive though. Wondering what we are getting out of giving to others can be a hindrance to our peace of mind because we’re missing God’s point. If we concentrate on the giving, the receiving will take care of itself. Today I will try to give unselfishly. Today's reading is from the book In God's Care: Daily Meditations on Spirituality in Recovery* __________________ "No matter what you have done up to this moment, you get 24 brand-new hours to spend every single day." --Brian Tracy AA gives us an opportunity to recreate ourselves, with God's help, one day at a time. --Rufus K. When you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on. --Franklin D. Roosevelt We stay sober and clean together - one day at a time! God says that each of us is worth loving.
