JUST FOR TODAY! -- Principles

From "CONCEPT I:"

"The life of each individual and of each group is built around our Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions.  We very well know that the penalty for extensive disobedience to these principles is death for the individual and dissolution for the group.  An even greater force for AA's unity is in the compelling love that we have for our fellow members and for the principles upon which our lives today are founded."

c. 1962, Twelve Concepts for World Service by Bill W., page 8

Just for Today -- A Daily Devotional

**********************************

The success of recovery is love -- and obedience.  That is life in general.  In the Bible, God laid out the plan of the best way to live on this earth and promised blessings for that obedience.  It was a matter of choice, blessings for obedience; curses for disobedience.

Same in recovery -- we can obey and walk the steps And our blessing is recovery and living a “normal and productive” life.  We can disobey and go back to the craziness from whence we came.  The strength is our accountability in our group, the love and unity of people with like sickness -- encouraging and loving us where we are -- our glue -- a desire to get sober.

See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ.  For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, and you have been given fullness in Christ, who is the head over every power and authority.  In him you were also circumcised, in the putting off of the sinful nature, not with a circumcision done by the hands of men but with the circumcision done by Christ, having been buried with him in baptism and raised with him through your faith in the power of God, who raised him from the dead. -- Colossians 2:8-12
