To Grow
We have entered the world of the Spirit. Our next function is
to grow in understanding and effectiveness. This is not an
overnight matter. It should continue for our lifetime.
- Alcoholics Anonymous, (Into Action) p. 84
Thought to Ponder
Spiritual progress isn't what gets us sober, it's what keeps us sober.
AA-related 'Alconym'
A S A P = Always Say A Prayer.

My name is Tom and I‘m an alcoholic. When I read "continue for a lifetime" I think of the last word in 'How it Works' and the first word in the 11th step. "Sought." God could and would if He were sought. I must remember to keep "sought-ing" if I am seeking a better relationship with Him. I am working and I know if I am working my program, I am safe. It is when I am stagnant I am in trouble. The 11th step tells me to keep "sought-ing" as well. And I know it is a lifelong thing. Because how could it not if I‘m seeking to have a better relationship through prayer and meditation? Again, I am moving forward. I can only imagine what it would be if I didn't need to "sought" anymore. Wait... I‘d be dead. I can wait... I‘ll just keep "sought-ing." Thanks for being here today.
