AA Thought for the Day

The Opportunity
It finally became obvious to me that the God I thought had judged and damned me had done nothing of the sort.
He had been listening, and in His own good time His answer came.  His answer was threefold:
the opportunity for a life of sobriety; Twelve Steps to practice, in order to attain and maintain that life of sobriety;
fellowship within the program, ever ready to sustain and help me each twenty-four-hour day. . .
In the use of this opportunity, the onus is on me.
- Came To Believe . . ., p. 11

Thought to Ponder . . .
We will suffer a great poverty until we know that God lives in us and we can see Him there.

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,
