AA Thought for the Day

July 4, 2015

Freedom
I craved freedom.  First, freedom to drink; later, freedom from drink.
The AA program of recovery lies on a foundation of free choice.
There are no mandates, laws or commandments.  AA's spiritual program, as outlined in the Twelve Steps,
and by which I am offered even greater freedoms, is only suggested.
I can take it or leave it.
- Daily Reflections, p. 95

Thought to Ponder . . .
Our AA freedoms create the soil in which genuine love can grow.

AA-related 'Alconym' . . .
H J F = Happy, Joyous, Free.

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,
