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

February 21, 2015

A Beginning
My friend suggested what then seemed a novel idea.  He said, "Why don't you choose your own conception of God?"
That statement me hard.  It melted the icy intellectual mountain in whose shadow I had lived and shivered many years.
I stood in the sunlight at last.
It was only a matter of being willing to believe in a Power greater than myself.
Nothing more was required of me to make my beginning.
- Alcoholics Anonymous, p. 12

Thought to Ponder . . .
Don't fear tomorrow.  God is already there.

AA-related 'Alconym' . . .
G O D = Good Orderly Direction.

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,
