Let Go
If you have decided you want what we have and are willing to go to any length to get it -
then you are ready to take certain steps.  At some of these we balked.  We thought we could find an easier, softer way.
But we could not.  With all the earnestness at our command, we beg of you to be fearless and thorough from the very start.
Some of us tried to hold on to our old ideas but the result was nil until we let go absolutely.
- Alcoholics Anonymous, p. 58

Thought to Ponder . . .
When I struggle, I sink.  When I let go, I float.

AA-related 'Alconym' . . .
O D A A T = One Day At A Time.

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,
