Meeting scheduled in the alanon chat room at 9:00AM Eastern Standard Time
Topics will be:“Blame – and facing the consequences of our own actions.”; “Forgiving One’s Self – wholeheartedly.”; “Let Go & Let God – and really let Him!”
A Reading on “Let go & let God” from One Day at a Time in Al-Anon, for April 16th:
When I can finally persuade myself to let go of a problem that has been tormenting me, solutions begin to unfold that I never dreamed possible. This should convince me that my human understanding has limits – that there are things I cannot figure out by myself. Only then will I let go – and trust to a Higher Power for help.
Such an experience – seeing things happen that I did not bring to pass – should prove to me that another person’s actions and fate are not in my hands. The sooner I accept this, the sooner good things will begin to unfold in my life.
Today’s Reminder:
To “Let go and let God” is the way we find peace of mind. Our stubborn self-will can only hinder the working out of my problems. If I really want to be free to build a satisfying life for myself, I must first release the alcoholic from my efforts to direct and control.
Quote with today’s passage:
“May I always keep in the forefront of my mind that I am not all-wise and all-powerful. Only God is that – and it is on Him that I must rely.”
