Just for Today
Sunday, Nov. 4, 2012

Just for today, I will focus on making the faith I have been given as a gift by the Program an intelligent rather than emotional one. As an alcoholic, my emotions are usually in excess - and anything in excess is risky, including faith if I ground it in emotion. By striving for an intelligent faith, I hope to remove the untrustworthy influence of my unsteady feelings on the faith I need - one in which I have unconditional trust in my Higher Power as opposed to one in which I let my feelings challenge His will. And with an intelligent faith rather than an emotional one, hopefully those things I cannot control can be more faithfully surrendered to my Higher Power and, as a result, hopefully I will take a step forward toward the goal of total faith, hope and charity. And our common journey continues. Just for today.- Chris M., 2012
