Chapt 4: Sobriety - A Spiritual Rest - p.111-127

Hello folks,

This week we're continuing with "A New Pair of Glasses" by CHUCK C (some people were a bit confused *ejem* edwin!). We'll be reading Chapt 4: Sobriety - A Spiritual Rest - p.111-127. 

Lately we've sort of taken to reading pages 84-85 in the big book at the end of the meeting instead of the promises, which is fitting because this chapter is loosely based on the phrase "... We have ceased fighting anything or anyone - even alcohol" (p84). Now this happens to be one of my friend Dave W's favorite phrases and I'm fortunate to hear him say it often; Sometimes slowly and sometimes very slowly, its started to sink in through the layers of my thick skull through the power of repetition (as I like to say, Practice makes Permanent!). 

Just for today, I don't have to run the show. I don't have to out-think, out-perform, or out-maneuver anyone or anything in order to "eke out a miserable living out of an unfriendly universe". I don't struggle with the delusion that I can drink like other men or that I might somehow, someday control or enjoy my drinking. That great obsession has been smashed. I take direction from he who has all power and it's made all the difference in my life.

Happy 24hrs, 

David t.

P.S. Please say a prayer for our friend Jon P who is now back in the United States getting treatment for a health condition. We pray for his speedy recovery.
