AA and I At One

A.A. AND I AT ONE IN ALIGNMENT WITH OUR FATHER’S WILL

By the grace of our Father I have realized, practiced and passed on in one degree or another all the following:

• Love – The second Spiritual Gift of our Program is sharing, which is an expression of love. I carry the message to those who still suffers. In doing, so I am a beloved lover loving. Our Program is for those who want it not just need it. There are a great many who are still suffering and worse off than many of us yet will never join us and share our love.

• Healing – Each time we experience healing, Spiritually, mentally, physically, emotionally or socially and if I am wise I will pass it on to those who are sicker than I am. That healing will expand and grow for me and through me. I am then a healed healer healing

• Forgiveness – Resentments are the number one offender of alcoholics and I must learn to forgive others and I. I cannot be free, open-minded or grow without forgiving. I would stay stuck in the past and bound to the one that is unforgiving. As I practice forgiveness as a way of life, I am a forgiven forgiver forgiving.

• Teaching – To grow, I must be teachable, open-minded. As I share what I learn that will expand and grow. I am then a taught teacher teaching.

• Awakening – This is the first Spiritual Gift – "Having had a Spiritual awakening as the result of these Steps." To stay awake I must carry the message I received and practice these Spiritual Principles in every area of my life. Doing that I am an awakened awakener awakening.

• Empowering – Coming into this way of life I am powerless over something important to me. I lack the ability to live, move and have my being successfully. As I practice these Spiritual Principles in my day-to-day life, the best I can by the grace of our Higher Power receive the ability plus everything I need to live this wonderful way of life. I am an empowered empowered-er empowering.

• Enlightening – When I came to the Program it seemed locked-in a darkroom with no way out. This Program proved to be an enlightened way of life, in fact far more than I could hope for. After living this path for a while I intuitively knew what use to baffle me. Once I experienced that Divine Light I came out of the darkness as an enlightened enlightened-er enlightening.

• Enriching – As the result of living this Program, I felt more in alignment with the individual I am. I feel enrichment with many parts, which is an abundance of wholeness. I am living a serendipity journey, meaning I found far more than I went

looking for, that is true abundance. Experiencing that I become an enriched enrich-er enriching.

• Communicating – Now I live, move and have my being from within instead of from the illusion that someone or something other than my Higher Power is supplying me or controlling how I think, act and feel. At some point I realized that it is the Voice of my Creator speaking from within. I pass on what I am told; as I do I am communicated to communicator communicating.

• Co-creating – I had imprisoned my in a wall-less cocoon spun out of my nightmares and illusions. I reacted to those illusions as though they are the real world. I use my Gifts to make up more illusions. Having had a Spiritual awakening as the result of this way of life, I came to realize my Creator's individual will. As I live His will I am guided to respond as the co-creator I am expressing. In alignment with His will I become a co-created co-creator co-creating.

• As I awaken and practice what I am shown my skills are ever growing more loving, wise and useful by your loving grace, Father.
