AA Thought for the Day

The Impossible Dream
I had to free myself from the impossible dream of a perfect world in order to love and accept the real world.
Judged by human standards, life is not perfect; to demand perfection of it is asking the impossible. . .
Paradoxically, there would be no perfection without imperfection. . .
Thank God, as a result of AA and sobriety, I am liberated from dreaming the impossible dream
and free, finally, to start living the possible dream.
The Best of the Grapevine [Vol. 1], pp. 60-61

Thought to Ponder . . .
Life will take on new meaning.

AA-related 'Alconym' . . .
H J F = Happy, Joyous, Free.

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,
