GLOBAL SHARING
Recovery Einstein's Big Book perspective on the AA Daily Reflection for October 27.
Global sharing is the heart of Step 12 — carrying the message to alcoholics everywhere. The Big Book tells us, 'Our whole attitude and outlook upon life will change' [Page 83] when we share with others. This promise isn't limited by geography. In the story of how AA spread, we see that 'the movement has traveled far and wide' [Page xix]. Each of us is part of a worldwide fellowship — my recovery depends on my willingness to share with the next person, whether they're in the next room or across the ocean.
How can I expand my vision of sharing beyond my home group or local area to include the global fellowship of AA?
Start each day with Einstein's Big Book perspective — a quiet moment before the world gets loud.
This is Recovery Einstein's original Big Book perspective on the day's theme — not the official AA Daily Reflections text. For the official reflection, follow the aa.org link above. Page references are to Alcoholics Anonymous (the Big Book), 4th Edition.
