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

February 19, 2016

Renewal
I have a new outlook on life.
I look forward to each day with happiness because of the real enjoyment it is to me to be sane, sober, and respectable.
I was existing really from one drink until the next, with no perception about circumstances, conditions, or even nature's elements.
My acquaintance with God -- lost and forgotten when I was a young man -- is renewed.
God is all-loving and all-forgiving.
The memories of my past are being dimmed by the life I now aspire to.
- Experience, Strength and Hope, p. 62

Thought to Ponder . . .
Life didn't end when I got sober -- it started.

AA-related 'Alconym' . . .
T G I F = Thank God I'm Forgiven.

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,
