My thought for today is Working With Others. The best way for me to do that is through sponsorship. The twelfth step encourages me to carry this message to others and that's what I try to do. I'm not always successful. But every now and then, someone takes the direction I offer and applies it to their life on a daily basis and they start to change. The message is pretty basic. If I can do it, you can do it. One gentleman at a meeting back in my early days said he had a spiritual awakening the day I took my suglasses off and sat up front. What he didn't realize is that someone was carrying that message to me, I was listening and eventually I started to change. Now, I do the same thing. As the Big Book reminds me, concerning working the steps, having had the experience myself, I can offer the new person much practical advice. What they do with that advice is between them and their Higher Power.
