AA Thought for the Day

May 14, 2015

Step Five
"Admitted to God, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs."
With AA as my structure and God as my source of strength, I can face life without taking a drink. . .
But I must also bear in mind that it is the spirit within me, which comes from God, that is going to be the healing force.
I can turn to it wherever I am.  I want very much to share myself with another human being now.
I am afraid of taking that step.  But, then, I have been afraid of everything else, too,
and now I know that it is possible to overcome fear.
- Came To Believe . . ., p. 103

Thought to Ponder . . .
We need trust to combat fear.
