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

April 16, 2015

Step Four
"Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves."
My Fourth Step showed me to be a liar, cheat, and thief; I was totally ruled by fear and resentment.
I thought of others only in light of my goals and cared about them only as they affected me.
It may be that my life was perfect from a transcendent perspective, but the contingencies were hell --
and it was the contingencies that had my back to the wall.
- The Best of the Grapevine [Vol. 3], pp. 163-164

Thought to Ponder . . .
When I choose the behavior, I choose the consequences.

AA-related 'Alconym' . . .
F E A R = Face Everything And Recover.

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,
