LEST WE BECOME COMPLACENT
Good Morning!!!
God grant me the Serenity
to accept the things
I cannot change;
Courage to change
the things I can;
and Wisdom
to know the difference.
Thy will, not mine, be done.

LEST WE BECOME COMPLACENT
It is easy to let up
on the spiritual program of action
and rest on our laurels.
We are headed for trouble if we do,
for alcohol is a subtle foe.
ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 85
When I am in pain it is easy to stay close
to the friends I have found in the program.
Relief from that pain is provided
in the solutions contained in AA's Twelve Steps.
But when I am feeling good and things are going well,
I can become complacent.
To put it simply, I become lazy
and turn into the problem instead of the solution.
I need to get into action, to take stock:
where am I and where am I going?
A daily inventory will tell me what I must change
to regain spiritual balance.
Admitting what I find within myself,
to God and to another human being,
keeps me honest and humble.
