Forgiveness
I cannot make an amends when I am still condemning or forgiving myself or the one I am making amends to,
because of the judgment this implies.  I have always found condemnation to be a lonely road
and have always found forgiveness to be a confusing and impossible task.
When I forgive someone I guess what I really mean to say is that I judge others.
Forgiving and condemning are God's business, not mine.
~ The Best of the Grapevine [Vol. 2], p. 162

Thought to Ponder . . .
Forgiveness is the final form of love.

AA-related 'Alconym' . . .
T G I F = Thank God I'm Forgiven.

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,
