February 11 - The Limits of Self-Reliance - Evala R. (Louisville, KY)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Evala has quite a bit of sober time but admits that she's still gaining valuable perspective through her work in the program and through various other spiritual foundations. She admits she has a strong inclination toward self-reliance but she finds when she lets go of the end-result and focuses on being in the present - in the moment her life goes so much better. Acceptance comes easier when these conditions are met.
THE LIMITS OF SELF-RELIANCE
We asked ourselves why we had them [fears]. Wasn't it because self-reliance failed us?
ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 68
All of my character defects separate me from God's will. When I ignore my association with Him I face the world and my alcoholism alone and must depend on self-reliance. I have never found security and happiness through self-will and the only result is a life of fear and discontent. God provides the path back to Him and to His gift of serenity and comfort. First, however, I must be willing to acknowledge my fears and understand their source and power over me. I frequently ask God to help me understand how I separate myself from Him.
