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

June 1, 2015

Essentials
The AA members who sponsored me told me in the beginning that I would not only find a way to live without having a drink,
but that I would find a way to live without wanting to drink, if I would do these simple things.
They said if you want to know how this program works, take the first word of your question --
the "H" is for honesty, the "O" is for open-mindedness, and the "W" is for willingness;
these our Big Book calls the essentials of recovery.
- Alcoholics Anonymous, pp. 549-550

Thought to Ponder . . .
It works -- it really does!

AA-related 'Alconym' . . .
H O W = Honesty, Open-mindedness, Willingness.

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,
