Thought of the day      
"Everything we know is subject to revision, especially what we know about the truth." 

-------++++++-------

  Many of us thought we could recognize "The Truth." We believed the truth was one thing, certain and unchanging, which we could grasp easily and without question. 

The real truth, however, was that we often couldn't see the truth if it hit us square in the face. Our disease colored everything in our lives, especially our perception of the truth--in fact, 

what we "knew" about the truth nearly killed us. 

Before we could begin to recognize truth, we had to switch our 

allegiance from our addiction to a Higher Power the source of all that is good and true.

The truth has changed as our faith in a Higher Power has grown.

 As we've worked the steps, our entire lives have begun to change through 

the healing power of the principles of recovery. 

In order to open the door for that change, 

we have had to surrender our attachment to an unchanging and rigid truth.

The truth becomes purer and simpler each time we encounter it.

 And just as the steps work in our lives every day--if we allow them--

our understanding of the truth may change each day as we grow.
 

Committment for the Day

  I will open my eyes and my heart to changes brought about by the steps. 

With an open mind, I can understand the truth in my life today.
