AA Thought for the Day

The Helmsman
Having seen for myself that my own navigation served only to slam my boat up against shoals,
I have at last become willing to turn the steering over to a more adept helmsman.  The decision is clear.
Tomorrow I may be drunk.  But today I have the tired peace that comes from doing the things you have to do
when you turn the wheel over to a mariner who knows that way across,
but makes you work with him through every inch of the crossing.
- The Best of the Grapevine [Vol. 2], p.147

Thought to Ponder . . .
A smooth sea never made a skilled mariner.

AA-related 'Alconym' . . .
H E L P = His Ever-Loving Presence.

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,
