Welcome to the latest edition of the Daily Reprieve, This has been quite an intense year for every one of us, and a lot of folks had to grab onto something bigger than themselves, just to get a sense of safety and security. The final edition of this year will be themed a ‘Spiritual Awakening’ as that is one of the key elements to the 12th step and we believe it’s so apt for ending a difficult year on an inspiring note. As alcoholics in recovery, we get to share our experience, strength and hope in so many ways – and to many – that is exactly what a spiritual awakening is; finding a similarity in someone else’s experience, when we thought that it only ever happened to us. This happens through going to meetings, doing the 12 steps and sharing our inventories with a sponsor, making amends and doing service. We have an array of wonderful articles, poems and experiences which highlight the experiences of many alcoholics – that allowed them to have an experience that took away the obsession to drink and we hope that it inspires you, as much as it has inspired us.

We wish you happy, sober holidays and a wonderful start to the new year, Until next time, The AA Newsletter Committee
