January 22nd's Reflection for the Day from A Day At A Time.

Reflection for the Day
In a very real sense, we are imprisoned by our inability, or unwillingness, to reach out for help to a Power greater than ourselves. But in time, we pray to be relieved of the bondage of self.

Have I set myself free from the prison of self-will and pride, which I have built? Have I accepted freedom?

Today I Pray
May the word "freedom" take on new meanings for me, not just "freedom from" my alcoholism, but "freedom to" overcome it. Not just "freedom from" the slavery of self-will, but "freedom to" hear and carry out the will of my Higher Power.

Today I Will Remember
Freedom from means freedom to.
