AA Thought for the Day

Hope
I've felt more pain sober than I'd ever allowed myself to feel while drinking.  I don't always see the purpose of these struggles,
but by the grace of God I've learned not to fight as much and try to learn from them.
Willingness to take the Twelve Steps, the gift of a working faith, and fellowship with AA members
has given me one more day of sobriety, for which I am very grateful.
The next fifty years is as unfathomable as the day I first walked into AA.
What's different today?  The difference is hope.
The AA Grapevine, August 1966

Blessings in sobriety to all,
In love and service,
