What kind of friend do I want to be? You don’t have to ask that question, you have to live that question. Our code in AA is love and tolerance, the question I need to ask is am I living by that code. If we are truly trying to live by the Spiritual Principles, we are automatically edging closer to learning how to become people who know how to conduct themselves as a friend should. I should never have to be friendless, or lose someone I ever considered a friend, if I just live by that code. Within the body of that phrase, lies an entire world of possibilities of new friends. I shouldn’t expect someone to be a certain way, I should act the way a friend should act. It’s not on them the responsibility is mine, I am responsible to incorporate the Principles in all my affairs. I love all my friends and love is the key to a full life, when love is in your life there is no room to fill. An empty heart is a unused muscle.

I was talking with a friend, and he was telling me how lost for direction he was, and that he didn’t know what the next right thing to do was. As he continued saying what he didn’t know, he told me what was. I finally stopped him and said “you just explained to me about 10 things you are doing that are correct actions, but the only thing you are focusing on is the future out come of a problem you think you might incure!”
The first thing we hear when we walk in the doors, is that we do this for today, and then find the faith that will carry us into tomorrow. Today is the Gift, there is no guarantee that there is a tomorrow. Living in yesterday, and thinking about a tomorrow that will have it’s own outcome, can keep us from completing what we should be doing today, which just might be the solution to the problems that we may have tomorrow. Do it, just do today.
