PROTECTION FOR ALL
Recovery Einstein's Big Book perspective on the AA Daily Reflection for November 30.
Ah, my friend, 'Protection for All' — that's a beautiful theme. In the Big Book, we find that our individual recovery is intimately tied to the well-being of others. The Promises tell us that 'we will not regret the past nor wish to shut the door on it' [Page 83]. This protection comes from living the Steps and carrying the message to others. On page 89, it says: 'Practical experience shows that nothing will so much insure immunity from drinking as intensive work with other alcoholics.' [Page 89] You see, the very act of giving away what we've found keeps us safe. It's not just about us; it's about ensuring that the hand of AA is always there for the next suffering soul. That mutual protection is the heart of our fellowship.
