AA Thought for the Day

24-Hour Plan
Getting away from the pull of the first drink is like putting a space vehicle in orbit.
It takes a lot of thrust to overcome the initial pull of gravity and get the vehicle off the ground.
But once it gets in orbit, all that's required is a small correction from time to time.
That's how the 24-hour plan works --
a small daily checkup and corrections to keep us away from the pull of that first drink.
The 24-hour plan is a discipline whose yield is freedom.
- The Best of the Grapevine [Vol. 1], p. 152

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

AA-related 'Alconym' . . .

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,
