Remember Mindfulness – relax your whole body gradually

Love

Much has been written about love over the
centuries, yet it remains partly a mystery. Is it a
feeling or an activity, dependence or nurture, selfless
or selfish? It has been described as mutual therapy
and also as a mutual torture. Most of us long for it
and much of mental illness is said to consist of the
absence of love. It is also said that therapy works
best where the therapist gives unconditional love.
The Twelve Steps are a form of therapy, so it is just
as well that love plays a big part there.
An even greater force for AA’s unity is our
compelling love for our fellow members and
for our principles. Bill W.
Do I feel the love that exists in the fellowships?

There is contemplative love and love in action.
When I work the Twelve Steps, I experience both –
the service I do, the amends I make to those I have
hurt and the message I carry to struggling people
are all examples of love in action, whereas my
relationship with my Higher Power is usually love
in contemplation. Both have their important place in
my recovery. Today I give thanks for the love that I
find in the fellowships.
