One Day at a Time in Al-Anon:

I would like to look back over this month and see what progress I have made, and what changes have taken place in my life as a result of my practicing the Al-Anon program.

Have I given sufficient attention to the Twelve Steps? Have I done at least a little reading each day? Are my family relationships more serene and happy than they were a month ago? Have I renewed a strained friendship; made good for an injury to someone, made an effort to avoid gossip, tried to learn something new?

Today’s Reminder:

This will be my day of review and preparation for the coming month in which I will renew my efforts to progress in my personal development.

If I cannot see any improvement in the month which is ending today, I will not be discouraged for, among other things, I must learn to accept myself as I am. Everything good I can bring about must begin with that.

“An occasional review of my progress is an encouraging exercise, for it shows me that am gradually learning how to live in poise and serenity.”
