EACYPAA-2-BALTIMORE "SPRING CLEANING" BUDS ON THE TREES AND PLANTS, FRESHLY MOWN LAWNS, LONGER DAYS AND WARMER WEATHER HERALD THE START OF SPRING. AS WE LOOK FORWARD TO THIS NEW SEASON, HOW MANY OF US WILL ALSO LOOK AT AA's 12 STEPS AND MAKE A CONSCIOUS DECISION TO LOOK AT OURSELVES AND DO SOME "SPRING CLEANING"? DO WE REMEMBER LISTING OUR CHARACTER DEFECTS IN STEP 4 ADMITTING THEM TO ANOTHER IN STEP 5? BEING READY TO HAVE THESE DEFECTS REMOVED IN STEP 6 AND ASKING FOR OUR HIGHER POWER'S HELP IN REMOVING THEM IN STEP 7? DURING THIS SEASON OF CHANGE (AS WELL AS ALL OTHERS), DO WE STOP AND REFLECT ON THE NEW LIFE AA HAS GIVEN US, OR ARE WE TOO CAUGHT UP IN THE NEW LIFE TO REMEMBER WHERE WE WERE BEFORE AA? WE OFTEN HEAR AT MEETINGS THE PEOPLE WITH "A FEW 24 HOURS" HAVE RELAPSED AND WONDER WHAT HAPPENED. BY PRACTICING THESE SIMPLE STEPS IN OUR DAILY LIVES, NO MATTER WHAT SEASON, WE FIND THAT WE CAN CONTINUE TO STAY SOBER AND "TRUDGE THE ROAD TO HAPPY DESTINY."
SO, IS IT TIME TO CLEAN OUR SIDE OF THE STREET?
