"The most important thing now is to reveal the inner temple of the soul with right thinking and right activity."

 Willaru Huayta  Quechua Nation

 

 

 It is easy to let up on the spiritual program of action and rest on our laurels. We are headed for trouble if we do, for alcohol is a subtle foe. We are not cured of alcoholism. What we really have is a daily reprieve contingent on the maintenance of our spiritual condition. Each day is a day when we must carry the vision of God's will into all of our activities. "How can I best serve Thee--Thy will be done." These are thoughts which must go with us constantly. We can exercise our will power along this line all we wish. It is the proper use of the will. 

Big Book  pg. 85

 

As we go through the day we pause, when agitated or doubtful, and ask for the right thought or action. We constantly remind ourselves we are no longer running the show, humbly saying to ourselves many times each day "Thy will be done." We are then in much less danger of excitement, fear, anger, worry, self-pity, or foolish decisions. We become much more efficient. We do not tire so easily, for we are not burning up energy foolishly as we did when we were trying to arrange life to suit ourselves.

It works--it really does.

We alcoholics are undisciplined. So we let God discipline us in the simple way we have just outlined.

But this is not all. There is action and more action.

"Faith without works is dead."
