"The most important thing now is to reveal the inner temple of the
soul with right thinking and right activity." Willaru Huayta Quechua
Nation 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. We are not
cured of alcoholism. What we really have is a daily reprieve contingent on
the maintenance of our spiritual condition. Each day is a day when we must
carry the vision of God's will into all of our activities. "How can I
best serve Thee--Thy will be done." These are thoughts which must go
with us constantly. We can exercise our will power along this line all we
wish. It is the proper use of the will. Big Book

A.A.W.S. As we go through
the day we pause, when agitated or doubtful, and ask for the right thought
or action. We constantly remind ourselves we are no longer running the
show, humbly saying to ourselves many times each day "Thy will be done."
We are then in much less danger of excitement, fear, anger, worry,
self-pity, or foolish decisions. We become much more efficient. We do not
tire so easily, for we are not burning up energy foolishly as we did when
we were trying to arrange life to suit
ourselves. It works--it
really does. We alcoholics are
undisciplined. So we let God discipline us in the simple way we have just
outlined. But this is not
all. There is action and more action. "Faith without
works is dead." Big Book
