AA Thought for the Day

June 22, 2015

My Chance to Live
I believe I was one of the lucky ones.
Not just because I found this program at such a young age; I feel fortunate that I found AA at all.
My approach to drinking brought me to the jumping-off place described in the Big Book
much faster than anyone could have imagined.
I'm convinced if I had continued on my course, I wouldn't have survived much longer.
I don't believe I was smarter than anyone else, as I'm often told by those who came in at a later age.
It was my time, my chance to live, and I took it.
- Alcoholics Anonymous, p. 316

Thought to Ponder . . .
I have learned that I did not get here a day early or a drink short.

AA-related 'Alconym' . . .
A A = Always Alive.

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,
