October 14"Fundamental progress has to do with the reinterpretation of basic ideas,"wrote Alfred North Whitehead.When we review or ups and downs of our recovery in GA, we can see the truth of that statement.We make progress each time we get rid of an old idea, each time we uncover a character defect, each time we become ready to have that defect removed.We make progress, one day at a time, as we shun that first bet, that first addictive act that could so quickly swerve us from the path of growth onto the path of despair...Do I consider the progress I've made since I came to GA????May I remember that there are a few new ideas in the world, only the old ones reinterpreted and reinstated.May I always be conscious that the big things in life-- like love, brotherhood, God, abstinence from addictive behavior--become more finely defined in each human life.So may the Twelve Steps in recovery be redefined in each of our lives, as we keep in mind that these are the time--tried principles that work.......TODAY I WILL REMEMBERThe Twelve Steps work.
