AA Thought for the Day

Discovery
I figured why I'd been unsuccessful with sobriety in the past.  The answer was on page fifty-eight:
"Those who do not recover are people who cannot or will not completely give themselves to this simple program . . ."
My problem was not that I could not, because I knew I could; my problem was that I would not.
After this discovery, I commenced to follow the program as outlined in the Big Book, and for the first time,
I completely gave myself to this simple program.
- The Best of the Grapevine [Vol. 3], p. 17

Thought to Ponder . . .
Recovery is discovery.

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,
