AA Thought for the Day

August 30, 2014

Essentials
Most emphatically we wish to say that any alcoholic capable of facing his problems in the light of our experience can recover,
provided he does not close his mind to all spiritual concepts.
He can only be defeated by an attitude of intolerance or belligerent denial.
We find that no one need have difficulty with the spirituality of the program.
Willingness, honesty and open-mindedness are the essentials of recovery.  But these are indispensable.
- Alcoholics Anonymous, p. 568

Thought to Ponder . . .
A spiritual awakening is our greatest gift.

AA-related 'Alconym' . . .

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,
