Daily Reflections - June 18 - A Fellowship Of Freedom

A Fellowship Of Freedom

... if only men we granted absolute liberty, and were compelled to obey no one, they would then voluntarily associate themselves in the common interest.
           As Bill Sees It,p.50

When I no longer live under the dictates of another or of alcohol, I live in a new freedom. When I release the past and all the excess baggage I have carried for so very long, I come to know freedom. I have been introduced into a life and a fellowship of freedom. The Steps are a "recommended" way of finding a new life, there are no commands or dictates in A.A. I am free to serve from desire rather than decree. There is the understanding that I will benefit from the growth of other members and I take what I learn and bring it back to the group. The "common welfare" finds room to grow in the society of personal freedom.
