AA Thought for the Day
(courtesy AA-Alive.net)

October 8, 2015

Action
In shame and despair, I went to my first AA meeting.  By some minor miracle,
I was able to suspend opinion, analysis, judgment, and criticism, and instead to listen and hear.
I heard someone say that AA works for those who work for it, those who put action into the program. . .
I heard that I should forget about yesterday and instead concentrate on today and staying away from the first drink today -- now.
I tried it and it worked.

Thought to Ponder . . .
I must walk into darkness to find the light.

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

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,
