July 22 – All of Me

Corey flies solo today with a meditation on what it actually costs to hand God everything — not just the parts that feel good to give. Working through the Big Book's line that "lack of power was our dilemma" and the Seventh Step Prayer's ask to have all of us, good and bad, he lands on an uncomfortable truth: we rarely know which is which. The defects we're most ashamed of often become the very thing that lets us help someone else, while the things we're proud of don't always hold up under honest light. Along the way — why he stopped drinking selfishly in "good times," what it means to get out of the outcome business, and how being of service is rarely convenient but almost always the point. The stone for today: Real change begins when I give God all of me, not just the parts I like. Read today's full Daily Ripple at www.dailyripples.com — and we'd love to hear from you.
