AA Thought for the Day

Rebellion
A whole lifetime geared to self-centeredness cannot be set in reverse all at once.  Rebellion dogs our every step at first.
When we have finally admitted without reservation that we are powerless over alcohol,
we are apt to breathe a great sigh of relief, saying, "Well, thank God that's over!  I'll never have to go through that again!"
Then we learn, often to our consternation, that this is only the first milestone on the new road we are walking.
- Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, p. 73

Thought to Ponder . . .
The road to recovery is always under construction.

AA-related 'Alconym' . . .

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,
