AA Thought for the Day

Selfishness
So our troubles, we think, are basically of our own making.  They arise out of ourselves,
and the alcoholic is an extreme example of self-will run riot, though he usually doesn't think so.
Above everything, we alcoholics must be rid of this selfishness.  We must, or it kills us!
God makes that possible.
- Alcoholics Anonymous, p. 62

Thought to Ponder . . .
Reliance on God enables me to match calamity with serenity.

AA-related 'Alconym' . . .
H E L P = His Ever - Loving Presence.

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,
