Prayer and Meditation
Perhaps one of the greatest rewards of meditation and prayer is the sense of belonging that comes to us.
We no longer live in a completely hostile world.
We are no longer lost and frightened and purposeless.

- Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, p. 105


Thought to Ponder . . .
Prayer asks the question.  Meditation listens for the answer.

AA-related 'Alconym' . . .
P U S H = Pray Until Something Happens.

I'm Frannie, a grateful alcoholic.  Prayer is talking to God and meditation is listening.  And my God hasn't changed a bit.  He was with me during every drink I took.  He was there trying to show me a better way.  I thought He had forgotten all about me.  He seemed so good to all my family, but I believed He had left me.  Well, He saved the very best for last ... He brought me to treatment and AA.  He didn’t leave me.  He is with me today.  He has created my miracle, and I am so grateful.  Thanks.

try to live the Steps, which can be a task some days more than others.  But if you want to stay sober; if you feel you are done, then this program can help you stay sober one day at a time.  Stick with the winners.  And for the new people, try not to drink today and keep coming back.  There are many miracles within our halls of AA.  Thanks for letting me share.
