Good morning. My thought for today is Complacency. It is defined as Self‑satisfaction that blinds you to real risks, problems, or the need for further effort. I sobered up by going to meetings, by getting a sponsor and taking direction from my sponsor and above all by finding a higher power and taking direction from that higher power whom today I choose to call God. I sobered up a long time ago, almost 29 years ago. My life today is good. I'm not sleeping under the bridge anymore. So, maybe I don't need to go to those meetings anymore, not as many at least. And, I have a pretty good handle on my sobriety, I probably don't need to take direction from my sponsor. Nor do I need guidance from God. I could probably do this on my own now. All that is a high grade of horseshit. The Big Book reminds me many times. Now, we need action and more action. The answer to my problems today is more spiritual development. I grow spiritually by doing those things. By regular attendance at meetings, by listening to my sponsor, and by being a sponsor myself, and by improving my conscious contact with God as I understand Him. Anytime I start thinking that I don't need to do this or I don't need to do that, that's when I need to do more of those things.
