September 8
ME, ME, ME “Were we thinking of ourselves most of the time?” Alcoholics Anonymous, page 86 “Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” Romans 12:2 For what it’s worth: The “his majesty, the baby” in me always wants what he wants when he wants it. Just because I am now sober in Alcoholics Anonymous does not miraculously change that character defect. Actually, the world I live in supports that selfish, spoiled attitude. But AA teaches me that self-centeredness can kill me, and that God is the only one Who can save me from myself. So, I need to be thinking of Him and what He wants, not preoccupied with me and my wants, tuning God out. That is still too easy for me to do. My alcoholic mind always wants more and more, but what I need is more of Him, not more of anything else. God bless you! Joe W.
