SEPTEMBER 1
WILLINGNESS TO GROW
If more gifts are to be received, our awakening has to go
on.
AS BILL SEES IT, p. 8
Sobriety fills the painful "hole in the soul" that my
alcoholism created. Often I feel so physically well that I
believe my work is done. However, joy is not just the
absence of pain; it is the gift of continued spiritual
awakening. Joy comes from ongoing and active study, as
well as application of the principles of recovery in my
everyday life, and from sharing that experience with others.
My Higher Power presents many opportunities for deeper
spiritual awakening. I need only to bring into my recovery
the willingness to grow. Today I am ready to grow.
