AA Thought for the Day

Discovery
AA has accomplished so many things in my life today.  It has given me my sanity and an all-around sense of balance.
Now willing to listen and take suggestions, I have found that the process of discovering who I really am
begins with knowing who I really don't want to be.
And although the disease of alcoholism inside of me is like gravity, just waiting to pull me down,
AA and the Twelve Steps are like the power that causes an airplane to become airborne:
It only works when the pilot is doing the right things to make it work.
- Alcoholics Anonymous, pp. 456-457

Thought to Ponder . . .
Recovery is discovery.

AA-related 'Alconym' . . .

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,
