AA Thought for the Day

August 24, 2015

Adversity
I learned to be grateful for my alcoholism and the program of recovery it forced me into,
for all the things that had happened to me and for me, for a life today
that transcends and far exceeds anything I had previously known.
I could not have that today if I had not experienced all the yesterdays. . .
Adversity truly introduces us to ourselves.
~ Alcoholics Anonymous, pp. 529-530

Thought to Ponder . . .
There is no education like adversity.

AA-related 'Alconym' . . .
A A = Achieve Anything.

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,
