This week's Practicing our Faith Exercise:

The foreword to the Big Book suggests that "And besides, we are sure that our way of living has its advantages for all." This week, try this prayerful exercise suggested for alcoholics: "Continue to watch for selfishness, dishonesty, resentment, and fear. When these crop up, we ask God at once to remove them. We discuss them with someone immediately and make amends quickly if we have harmed anyone. Then we resolutely turn our thoughts to someone we can help. Love and tolerance of others is our code."
