I reflect as soon as I wake. While still in bed, I ignite my phone that slept too. Before I read a text, boost or bust my ego with a social media inventory, I read AA’s Daily Reflection. Sometimes it’s profound. Sometimes it’s Pollyanna drivel. My primary purpose is not to gain wisdom, insight, or identification—those are occasional byproducts. My primary purpose is to remind myself that I’m an alcoholic before I get out of bed. By lunch, I’ve often forgotten the words of the Daily Reflection, but I have not forgotten that today I am still an alcoholic.
