The spiritual life is not a theory, we have o live it.
When new in the program, I couldn't comprehend living the spiritual aspect of the program, but now that I'm sober, I can't comprehend living without it. Spirituality was what I had been seeking. God, as I understand Him, has given me answers to the whys that kept me drinking for twenty years. By living a spiritual life, by asking God for help, I have learned to love, care for and feel compassion for all my fellow men, and to feel joy in a world where, before, I felt only fear.
A.A.Daily Reflections-
Speaking for myself here, this goes hand & hand with the Serenity Prayer from yesterday’s reading. Daily prayer is Essential for my daily program of recovery. I have a God size hole inside that I continuously tried to fill with external solutions. It was a temporary fix which never satisfied my feelings of hopelessness!
It’s an inside job!
The work , answers and solutions are within, not outside by pleasure seeking behavior. It’s like putting a bandaid on a shotgun wound!

I have to say your on point. Spirituality is an inside job. I have a heart condition its must be turned over daily in order for new seeds (good ideas,values, Spiritual principles) to take old and grow it must be nurtured . But we can't to that unless we are around like minded people that share our same ideas... people that encourage growth people that will tells us the truth and call us out on our BS.
Yukon_JackYes wildcard,
There’s things we’ve learned in life that can not be tought in a class room or read out of a text book.
Growth happens when I fail.
Once the pain & consequences got great enough that’s when I had to inwardly reflect about if I wanted to die like a dog in the streets , do a life bid, or do this program like it’s layered out!
Wow
