Daily Reprieve, p. 27
We are not cured of alcoholism. What we really have is a daily reprieve contingent on the maintenance of our spiritual condition.
**********************************************
We of A.A. obey spiritual principles, at first because we must, then because we ought to, and ultimately because we love the kind of life such obedience brings. Great suffering and great love are A.A.’s disciplinarians; we need no others.

IT DOESN’T HAPPEN OVERNIGHTWe are not cured of alcoholism. What we really have is a daily reprieve contingent on the maintenance of our spiritual condition.~ ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 85 ~The most common alcoholic fantasy seems to be: “If I just don’t drink, everything will be all right.” Once the fog cleared for me, I saw—for the first time—the mess my life had become. I had family, work, financial and legal problems; I was hung up on old religious ideas; there were sides of my character to which I was inclined to stay blind because they easily could have convinced me that I was hopeless and pushed me toward escape again. The Big Book guided me in resolving all of my problems. But it didn’t happen overnight—and certainly not automatically— with no effort on my part. I need always to recognize God’s mercy and blessings that shine through any problem I have to face.Copyright © 1990 by Alcoholics Anonymous World Services Inc

A DAILY REPRIEVEWhat we really have is a daily reprieve contingent on the maintenance of our spiritual condition.~ ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 85 Maintaining my spiritual condition is like working out every day, planning for the marathon, swimming laps, jogging. It’s staying in good shape spiritually, and that requires prayer and meditation. The single most important way for me to improve my conscious contact with a Higher Power is to pray and meditate. I am as powerless over alcohol as I am to turn back the waves of the sea; no human force had the power to overcome my alcoholism. Now I am able to breathe the air of joy, happiness and wisdom. I have the power to love and react to events around me with the eyes of a faith in things that are not readily apparent. My daily reprieve means that, no matter how difficult or painful things appear today, I can draw on the power of the program to stay liberated from my cunning, baffling and powerful illness.Copyright © 1990 by Alcoholics Anonymous World Services Inc
