Yesterday’s Bread “Pay Forward” # 99

I greet The Indwelling Transformer.

Today’s “Pay Forward” gift is - Yesterday’s Bread.  When an important area or everything seems to stop working ask yourself these two questions.  If the answer to one or both is yes take whatever action it takes to correct it.  1.)  Am I doing something I should not be doing?  If your answer is yes, stop it for a while and see if that helps.  2.)  Am I not doing something I should be doing?  If the answer is yes, take the action you need to and see if that helps.  If there is no real change, you may be entering a Spiritual transformation cycle.

VERY IMPORTANT SUGGESTIONS: The A.A. Program is based on principles and will work.  If we are going through a natural transformation cycle it does not mean that the Program isn’t working, it means we are going through a way of transformation.  The four seasons come and go – so it is with this time of a Spiritual transformation.  It is so very important that we do not stop the basics: Keep going to our meetings (set a minimum) - Keep trying to help others (get out of yourself) - Keep turning to your Higher Power (no matter how useless it feels) - Keep reading some Program books (even if it is only a line or two) - Don’t withdraw (Spiritually, mentally, physically, emotionally, socially) Talk about what you are going through in meetings or someone in recovery.  Thy Love, Thy Will be done.
