Daily Reflections-June 24


A SPIRITUAL KINDERGARTEN
We are only operating spiritual kindergarten in which people are enabled to get over drinking and find the grace to go on living to better effect.
- AS BILL SEES IT, p. 95

When I came to A.A., I was run down by the bottle and wanted to lose the obsession to drink, but I didn't really know how to do that. I decided to stick around long enough to find out from the ones who went before me. All of a sudden I was thinking about God! I was told to get a Higher Power and I had no idea what one looked like. I found out there are many Higher Powers. I was told to find God, as I understand God, that there was no doctrine of the Godhead in A.A. I found what worked for me and then asked that Power to restore me to sanity. The obsession to drink was removed and - one day at a time - my life went on, and I learned how to live sober.
