AA Thought for the Day

May 11, 2015

Understanding
A tiny kernel of locked-in feelings began to unfold when I first attended AA meetings
and self-knowledge then became a learning task for me.
This new self-understanding brought about a change in my responses to life's situations.
I realized I had the right to make choices in my life, and the inner dictatorship of habits slowly lost its grip.
- Daily Reflections, p. 135

Thought to Ponder . . .
Once we understand ourselves, the rest of living falls in line.

AA-related 'Alconym' . . .
P U T = Patience, Understanding, Tolerance.

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,
