AA Thought for the Day

February 23, 2015

Open-mindedness
Faced with alcoholic destruction, we soon became as open minded on spiritual matters as we had tried to be on other questions.
In this respect, alcohol was the great persuader.  It finally beat us into a state of reasonableness.
Sometimes this was a tedious process; we hope no one else will be as prejudiced for as long as some of us were.
- Alcoholics Anonymous, p. 48

Thought to Ponder . . .
Recovery is not an event; it is a process.

AA-related 'Alconym' . . .
H O W = Honesty, Open-mindedness, Willingness.

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,
