Practice These Principles (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Practice These Principles The Steps are not meant to stay on a page. Recovery is about taking what we learn and actually using it in our relationships, our decisions, our reactions, and the way we treat other people. Today we’re talking about what it means to practice these principles in all our affairs—not just in meetings, not just when things are going well, and not just when it is convenient. Honesty, humility, service, love, open-mindedness, responsibility, and faith only become meaningful
Sometimes the Day You Planned Is Not the Day You Are Supposed to Have (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sometimes the Day You Planned Is Not the Day You Are Supposed to Have We can wake up with a plan for the day and be completely convinced we know how things are going to go.

The Big Book reminds us that our reprieve is based on the maintenance of our spiritual condition—and
Rarely Have We Seen A Person Fail (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Rarely Have We Seen A Person Fail The opening of How It Works gives one of the strongest statements in the Big Book: “Rarely have we seen a person fail who has thoroughly followed our path.” Today we’ll talk about what that really means—not as a guarantee that recovery will always be easy, but as a statement about what can happen when we stop trying to invent our own version of the program and begin honestly following the path laid out in the Steps. The emphasis is not on being special, being st
