Today's Gift
The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate. —Oprah Winfrey
Self Value
We have a real life of our own. Yes, we do.
That empty feeling, that senses that everyone except us has a life - an important life, a valuable life, a better life - is a remnant from the past. It is also a self-defeating belief that is inaccurate.
We are real. So is our life. Jump into it, and we'll see.
Today, I will live my life and treasure it as mine.

********************************Twenty-Four Hours a DayKeep It Simple
After we’ve been in the program for a while, we may not be as honest with ourselves as we were at first. It’s not easy to stay vigilant, to keep taking our inventory and look for defects that may have cropped up.
It helps to ask our Higher Power for insight so we can see all our defects. We need honesty to stay clean and sober.
Am I staying honest with myself?
Prayer for the Day: Higher Power, help me to fear my faults less; help me to be honest with myself.
Action for the Day: I will work on being honest with myself today.

One Day At A Time
If you are as seriously alcoholic as we were, we believe there is no
middle-of-the-road solution. We were in a position where life was
becoming impossible, and if we had passed into the region from
which there is no return through human aid, we had but two alternatives:
One was to go on to the bitter end, blotting out the consciousness of our
intolerable situation as best we could; and the other, to accept spiritual help.
- Alcoholics Anonymous, (There Is A Solution,) p. 25
Thought to Ponder
The solution is simple. The solution is spiritual.

Live your value***************************Daily MotivationExcerpt of The Daily Motivator
by Ralph Marston
There is a strength in you that has never been used. There are ideas you’ve formed which have never been articulated. There is a passion in you which has never been allowed to burn. There are possibilities in you which have never been considered. There is wisdom in you which you’ve never touched. No matter what your age or experience, there are aspects of your life which lie hidden because you have not yet learned to value them.
The more you value something, the more you get out of it. That is particularly true when it comes to your own life.
What value do you place on your time, your learning, your commitments, your skills? Your values are evidenced not by wishful thinking, but by the actions you take day after day. And your values are evidenced by the results you get.
Value your wonderful, creative self. You have more abundance than you could ever want or need, if only you’ll value it enough to make the most of it.
