Guidance comes from many sources.
When we hear the word guidance, we might think of a school counselor helping us pick classes. But in this program, guidance shows up in everyday moments — like when an old-timer shares a story at a meeting that gives us clarity, or when a random page in a meditation book feels like it was written just for us. Sometimes, a friend calls right when we’re feeling lost or scared.
Most of us come to this program looking for something, even if we’re not sure what. We just feel an empty space inside. But as we stick around, we realize we’re not alone. We have a Higher Power by our side and a whole community of friends to lean on. And with that, we start to understand what guidance really is — and how it’s been there for us all along.
Today’s Affirmation:
Before making any big decision today, I will listen and look for the guidance I’ve been assured.
Since 1954, A Life of My Own has been a key resource for alcoholics in recovery worldwide, with over nine million copies in print. This revised “little book” offers daily reflections, meditations, and prayers to support a clean and sober life, with practical spiritual guidance for everyday living.
Karen Casey, also the author of Each Day a New Beginning for women, she has spent over 20 years speaking on spirituality, relationships, and personal growth. Her own recovery from addiction started in Twelve Step groups more than 30 years ago, and she’s passionate about helping others in those same groups.
