Awakening
Very few of us experience a sudden, startling spiritual experience of any kind.  Usually, the change is gradual.
Yet it is no less a spiritual awakening.
Whether we awaken with a bound or after much stretching, we awaken.
When there is a spiritual awakening, self-centeredness, fear, and frustration
are supplanted by helpful friendliness, happiness (perhaps even a touch of serenity), and fulfillment.
- The Best of the Grapevine [Vol. 2], p. 178

Thought to Ponder . . .
A spiritual awakening is our greatest gift.

AA-related 'Alconym' . . .
A A = Always Alive.

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,
