AA Thought for the Day

Convincing Evidence
My abuse of alcohol was the exterior manifestation of a disease much more complex and consuming than simple drunkenness,
and similarly, my abstinence is the exterior manifestation of a wellness much more rewarding than simple sobriety.
The most convincing evidence I have today that I'm an alcoholic is not how much or how long I drank, nor how drunk I got;
the most convincing evidence I have is that Alcoholics Anonymous is working for me.
- Thank You For Sharing, p. 181

Thought to Ponder . . .
It works -- it really does.

AA-related 'Alconym' . . .
A A = Absolute Abstinence.

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,
