Suggestions
I remember my sponsor's answer when I told him that the Steps were "suggested."
He replied that they are "suggested" in the same way that, if you were to jump out of an airplane with a parachute,
it is "suggested" that you pull the ripcord to save your life.
So I try to remember daily that I have a whole program of recovery based on all Twelve of the "suggested" Steps.
- Daily Reflections, p. 344

Thought to Ponder . . .
All of AA's suggestions are free.
The ones I don't take are the ones I end up paying for.

AA-related 'Alconym' . . .
G I F T S = Getting It From The Steps.

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,
