AA Thought for the Day

Traditions
The Twelve Traditions point straight at many of our individual defects.
By implication they ask each of us to lay aside pride and resentment.  They ask for personal as well as group sacrifice.
They ask us never to use the AA name in any quest for personal power or distinction or money.
The Traditions guarantee the equality of all members and independence of all groups.
They show how we may best relate ourselves to each other and to the world outside.
- Alcoholics Anonymous Comes of Age, p. 96

Thought to Ponder . . .
The Steps help me live with me; the Traditions help me live with you.

AA-related 'Alconym' . . .
H E A R T = Healing, Enjoying, And Recovering Together.

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,
