AA Thought for the Day

Progression
The progression of this disease catapulted me into outer space.
An excess of chemical propellant overworked my sensory mechanism; like the crippled Apollo 13 spacecraft,
I was almost stranded on the dark side of the moon.  I could not manage the added power;
I was not able to control this by myself.
I needed a helping Hand, the spiritual reserve of a Higher Power.
I felt like a man in a tunnel with no opening at the other end, or like a driver wearing sunglasses at night.
- Came To Believe . . ., p. 49

Thought to Ponder . . .
God seldom becomes a reality until God becomes a necessity.

AA-related 'Alconym' . . .
H E L P = His Ever-Loving Presence.

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,
