AA Thought for the Day
(courtesy AA-Alive.net)

February 18, 2016

Emotional Sobriety
If we examine every disturbance we have, great or small, we will find at the root of it some unhealthy dependency
and its consequent unhealthy demand.
Let us, with God's help, continually surrender these hobbling demands.
Then we can be set free to live and love; we may be able to Twelfth Step ourselves and others into emotional sobriety.
- The Language of the Heart, p. 238

Thought to Ponder . . .
Sobriety is not a destination, but an everlasting journey.

AA-related 'Alconym' . . .
K I S S = Keep It Simple; Surrender.

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,
