The can be no life lived without purpose...
I have at various points in the past years called into question my purpose, there seems to be a reason for me to continue on, obligations aside there is a divine purpose....
How comforting it is during these times to know that as a member of our fellowship I have a primary purpose and that despite all other things in my life, I am to stay sober and carry our message to the still suffering alcoholic...
Our primary purpose, much the same as our message, exists on both an individual and group level. At the individual level we each have an obligation to the fellowship that has delivered from alcoholic despair and to the loving God's who's Grace has spared us certain death, to remain continuously sober...we are then to redeliver our message to the still suffering alcoholic. We must also bear in mind that the still suffering person may be 10 years sober.
On a group level we must see to it that our message can be clearly and consistently transmitted, that it is free of distraction and interference and that half-truths be dispelled. We must, as a group, enforce unity amongst our members so that the message does not fall into the crack between our members. Unified in our approach we can easily meet the problem head-on with the solution.
Let us all remember to be a vessel for God's will and a channel for our message....
