Today I was thinking about today. This day. The reason I started thinking about that was what I was thinking yesterday. About our humanness. Our imperfections and how I can so easily make mistakes. It’s all so true about someone like me.
What I was meditating on was something Bill W. said about the Twelfth Step. It kind of explained how we are able to live the spiritual life. He said that the Twelfth Step is not dependent on our state or condition. It’s not dependent on where I think I am. It’s all dependent on my willingness to do the next right thing. Once again I am reminded this is an action program.
Yesterday I thought about, when I find myself stumbling and falling, I need to pick myself up and dust myself off and go on to to do the next right thing. Today it was apparent to me that, since this is a one day at a time program, that it was up to me to do better today. I can do that. I can start my day over any time I want to do it. To make up my mind and, with the help of my higher power, to do better. In other words, choose to do God’s will for me.
Anyway, I was sitting here and reflecting on the daily reprieve, which keeps us sober.
