AA Daily Reflection 17+

Like Dan B, a year ago, I can’t access the last line of the calendar and the reading did not automatically turn to the new day during the last week of the month. I like to share the readings with women I sponsor so this makes that process harder. I’m going to reload the app but reading the comment from a year ago doesn’t give me much hope. Linda B

I have loaded and unloaded this app several times, hoping to resolve a problem with the calendar search. It appears that on my iPhone that only the first three lines of a month are visible. If I wanted to choose a date towards the bottom of the calendar, it would not be available for choosing, whether the phone is in a vertical or horizontal position. This has caused me to delete and replace it with another option. I am only sending this message to you so that you are aware of your access issue to your calendar search feature. Thank you, Dan B

"HAPPY, JOYOUS AND FREE"

We are sure God wants us to be happy, joyous, and free. We cannot subscribe to the belief that this life is vale of tears, though it once was just that for many f us. But it is clear that we made our own misery, rod didn't do it. Avoid then, the deliberate manufacture of misery, but if trouble comes, cheerfully capitalize it as an opportunity to demonstrate His omnipotence.
— ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 133

For years I believed in a punishing God and blamed him for my misery. I have learned that I must lay down the "weapons" of self in order to pick up the "tools" of the A.A. program. I do not struggle with he program because it is a gift and I have never struggled when receiving a gift. If I sometimes keep MI struggling, it is because I'm still hanging onto my old ideas and " . . . the results are nil."
