Practice of the Day- BB pg 103- Ch 7- Working With Others: We are careful never to show intolerance or hatred of drinking as an institution. Experience shows that such an attitude is not helpful to anyone. Every new alcoholic looks for this spirit among us and is immensely relieved when he finds we are not witch burners. A spirit of intolerance might repel alcoholics whose lives could have been saved, had it not been for such stupidity. We would not even do the cause of temperate drinking any good, for not one drinker in a thousand likes to be told anything about alcohol by one who hates it. Some day we hope that Alcoholics Anonymous will help the public to a better realization of the gravity of the alcoholic problem, but we shall be of little use if our attitude is one of bitterness or hostility. Drinkers will not stand for it. After all, our problems were of our own making. Bottles were only a symbol. Besides, we have stopped fighting anybody or anything. We have to! -Tom- My sponsor would always say “it’s easy to be Sober in an AA meeting. The real question is what is my attitude and how do I behave outside of the meetings? Am I a good example of a member of Alcoholics Anonymous when no other AA member is around?” I can ask myself, have I stopped fighting everybody and everything? If your answer is yes, then Continue to enjoy the the Fruits of doing Steps 10,11,12. If your answer is no, then stop what you are doing, write a Gratitude list and get with your sponsor and revisit steps 10 and 11. I pray that today I am Given the ability to be a solid member of Alcoholics Anonymous, in attitude, word and deed.
