AA Thought for the Day
(courtesy AA-Alive.net)

December 9, 2014

Only One Reason
I believe we are all sober and alive for only one reason: God has a job for us to do.
I have also come to believe that I must please God first, myself second, and everybody else third.
When I can live and feel that way -- and it isn't all day every day -- things seem to work out.
When I try to run the show, everything goes to hell.
- Came to Believe . . ., p. 97

Thought to Ponder . . .
No God, no peace -- know God, know peace.

AA-related 'Alconym' . . .
G O D = Good Orderly Direction.

Thanks to all of you for sharing so generously of your experience, strength and hope in carrying the AA message.
Blessings in sobriety to all,
In love and service,
