Footprints
Stepping into the first footprint that led from the dismal swamp of alcoholism
toward the sunlight of sobriety would not take me far enough.
Would I muddle along on some trail of my own in the weeds, vaguely paralleling the clearly marked AA road?
Or would I choose to follow the exact footsteps of the AAs who preceded?  The choice was up to me.
- The Best of the Grapevine [Vol. 2], p. 136

Thought to Ponder . . .
I stood in the sunlight at last.

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

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,
