March, 08 Pg. 68 Courage to Change One of the wonderful benefits I receive by going to meetings is that i find new ways to work my program. The chairperson at one of my favorite meetings passed around a basket full of slogans and suggested that we each take one and try to apply it to this day. It was remarkable how many of us seemed to get the perfect slogan! The very next day i found myself in a stressful situation . I was struggling to solve a tough problem,growing frustrated and upset but no closer to a solution. I asked my Higher Power for help and suddenly remembered that basket. In my mind, i imagined myself reaching once more into a basket of slogans. Again i got exactly what i needed: The slip of paper i pictured reminded me that Easy Does It I stopped trying to force a solution and waited until I could approach the problem more gently. I felt so much better, my thinking was clearer, and in time a solution appeared. Todays Reminder It is not always easy to know which tool to apply, especially in the middle of a crisis . I am grateful for a Higher Power who knows my needs ,and for meetings that help me to find new ways to put these tools to work in my life. As we learn to depend upon our Higher Power through applying the program to our lives ,fear and uncertainty are replaced by faith and confidence. One day at a time in AA
