Pro-Tips for your ACA Daily Reader

Did you know that the ACA Daily Reader has some hidden features? Strengthening My Recovery is organized in ways you might never expect: 

  • The promise of the month is always the topic for the 15th of that month (January 15 for Promise One, February 15 for Promise Two, etc). 
  • The step of the month is always on the 3rd of the month (Step One on January 3, Step Two on February 3, etc). 
  • The tradition of the month is trickier: it's always the next-to-last reading of the month. That means it's on the 30th for 31-day months like January, on the 29th for 30-day months like April, and on the 28th in February! So the tradition is on a different day depending on the length of the month, but always the next-to-last reading of the month. 

Next time you're looking for a reading on a particular step, tradition, or promise, you'll have a fast way to find it. Hat tip to the editors for being organized. : )

Hello, World!

Southeast Texas ACA is working to create a go-to place for our recovery community during the COVID-19 crisis. Click on the drop-down menu for links to local online meetings and a list of timely topics from our ACA literature (both work-in-progress). We may add shares from fellow travelers as we talk, trust, and feel our way through this crisis as our true selves. If you're out there and reading, please drop a comment. It's a giant graffiti wall: you can let people know you are here.
