Another R.A. member shares:
"If circumstances warrant, ask your wife or a friend to join you in morning meditation."
(R.A.'s Multilith )
Recently I noticed some old behavior cropping up. After asking God to remove the defects I recognized, I knew I needed to discuss this immediately. I reached out to others in R.A., and an R.A. friend replied. It was just what was needed!
Together we did the whole DQT (Daily Quiet Time). It helped me remember to ask for the "grace to be still whenever I am agitated or doubtful" Very helpful reminder!
In addition,R.A.'s forgiveness treatment is a great way of Letting Go and Letting G-d, especially from my own misgivings towards myself. As it says in the next-to-last paragraph on page 7 of R.A.'s Living in Recovery Guide:
"Forgiveness can help us become willing to make amends. Equally important: It can help us to forgive ourselves if we are mistakenly blaming ourselves for allowing ourselves to be hurt."

An R.A. member shares:

“Ask Him in your morning meditation what you can do each day for the man who is still sick.”
(RA’s Annotated Multilith Big Book pg 75)

I was speaking with a very respected old timer about my progress as a sponsor. They told me, before finishing with a sponsee, they always ask, as it says in the Multilith, “what you can do each day for the [person] who is still sick.”

I thought to myself, "What a fantastic idea to add to my Spiritual Toolbox in order to share RA’s message of with others!"

So I tried it that very same day while working with one of my sponsees. It worked! I asked my sponsee “What can you do TODAY for the person who is still sick?” First they told me what they had done thus far, including welcoming a newest of newcomers to RA in an RA WhatsApp group. Then they asked me, “What else?” I suggested they follow up and contact that Newcomer to tell them their story of Recovery in RA thus far. Immediately and eagerly they reached out to that Newcomer while I was still on the line! What an amazing demonstration of God’s way of life - passing the Solution from this RA old timer, to me and then to my sponsee, who passed it on to another Newcomer. What a way to work RA’s 3rd Ideal, that each RA member work with others, including newcomers, to immediately begin this spiritual activity!

“We read RA’s Multilith Big Book because the pioneers’ original ‘clear-cut directions’ are easier to see and understand in it. The Multilith is the pioneers’ original group conscience approved version of the . Comparing the original wording in the Multilith with the wording in later versions of the Big Book helps us understand what the pioneers of the program were trying to accomplish when they wrote the Twelve Step program of Recovery.”

"Our very lives, as ex-alcoholics, depend upon constant thought of others and how we may help meet their needs."
(Original Multilith manuscript, p9)

Shall I tell you a secret? How to really get something out of R.A. meetings.
Before I came to R.A., when I was in other programs, I used to go to see if I could get a sympathetic ear, a way to complain about a problem, a new friend, even some love. Of course, I never recovered; and, I got tired of that kind of life.
When I came to R.A., and read that my life depended upon constant thought of others and how I might meet their needs, I started to experiment with that idea. Everywhere. On the bus, on the road, in the supermarket, and finally in R.A. meetings.
When I go to an R.A. meeting and we start by praying for the recovery of others, it puts me in a spiritual, unselfish state of mind. And I think about how I ca be helpful to people in the meeting. Then I share something from the literature that I think would be helpful to *them.* This has revolutionized my meeting experience.
It works - - it really does. Try it
