AA Thought for the Day

March 10, 2015

Willfulness
And so I "made a decision" to turn my will and my life over to the care of God as I understood Him. . .
I am not saying that for me the Third Step has been completed.
My willfulness is still very much a part of me and may always be a stumbling block to progress in my life.
So I will have to stay very close to AA, where my strength lies.
I am so full of human frailty that I think it is a miracle I am here today at all.  It's only through AA.
- The Best of the Grapevine [Vol. 2], pp. 146-147-148

Thought to Ponder . . .
I can't do His will my way.

AA-related 'Alconym' . . .
H O W = Honesty, Open-mindedness, Willingness.

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,
