Thought for the Day

I have got rid of most of my boredom.
One of the hardest things that a new member of A.A. has to understand is how to stay sober and not be bored.
Drinking was always the answer to all kinds of boring people or boring situations.
But once you have taken up the interest of A.A., once you have given it your time and enthusiasm, boredom should not be a problem to you.
A new life opens up before you that can be always interesting.
Sobriety should give you so many new interests in life that you shouldn't have time to be bored.
Have I got rid of the fear of being bored?

Meditation for the Day

"If I have not charity, I am become as sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal." Charity means to care enough about other people to really want to do something for them. A smile, a word of encouragement, a word of love, goes winged on its way, simple though it may seem, while the mighty words of an orator fall on deaf ears. Use up the odd moments of your day in trying to do some little thing to cheer up another person. Boredom comes from thinking too much about yourself.

Prayer for the Day

I pray that my day may be brightened by some little act of charity. I pray that I may try today to overcome the self-centeredness that makes me bored.
