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

January 17, 2015

Habits
Our drinking was connected with many habits -- big and little.
Some of them were thinking habits, or things we felt inside ourselves.  Others were doing habits -- things we did, actions we took.
In getting used to not drinking, we have found that we needed new habits to take place of those old ones. . .
After we spent a few months practicing these new, sober habits or ways of acting and thinking,
they become almost second nature to most of us, as drinking used to be.
- Living Sober, Preface

Thought to Ponder . . .
Habits are like cork or lead -- they tend to keep you up or hold you down.

AA-related 'Alconym' . . .
B A T H = Behavior, Attitude, Thinking, Habits.

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,
