AA Thought for the Day

June 26, 2015

Overcoming Self-will
I feel myself a useful member of the human race at last.
I have something to contribute to humanity, since I am peculiarly qualified, as a fellow-sufferer,
to give aid and comfort to those who have stumbled and fallen over this business of meeting life. . .
I believe that my once over-weening self-will has finally found its proper place,
for I can say many times daily, "Thy will be done, not mine" . . . and mean it.
- Alcoholics Anonymous, 3rd Edition, p. 229

Thought to Ponder . . .
I can't do His will my way.

AA-related 'Alconym' . . .
F A I T H = Facing All, Intuitively Trusting Him.

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,
