AA Thought for the Day

January 19, 2016

Acceptance
Our whole treasured philosophy of self-sufficiency had to be cast aside.  This had not been done with old-fashioned willpower;
it was instead a matter of developing the willingness to accept these new facts of living.
We neither ran nor fought.  But accept we did.  And then we were free.
There had been no irretrievable disaster.
- The Language of the Heart, p. 271

Thought to Ponder . . .
Acceptance is the answer to all my problems today.

AA-related 'Alconym' . . .
A B C = Acceptance, Belief, Change.

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,
