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

January 4, 2016

Action
When we first come around AA, we're urged to do just what we are told.
We might not like it, we might not even agree with it: just do it.
When the action gets the predicted result, we're astonished and sometimes a little annoyed.
But almost against our will, we come to understand and believe.
We've never been able to achieve these ends by just thinking, but our action and its results
can open the door to understanding and belief.
- The Best of the Grapevine [Vol. 3], p. 107

Thought to Ponder . . .
Gratitude is not a word in AA; it's an action.

AA-related 'Alconym' . . .
A B C = Action, Belief, Continue.

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,
