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

February 5, 2016

Incurable
We remember we have an incurable, potentially fatal ailment called alcoholism.
And instead of persisting in drinking, we prefer to figure out, and use, enjoyable ways of living without alcohol.
We need not be ashamed that we have a disease.  It is no disgrace.
No one knows exactly why some people become alcoholics while others don't.  It is not our fault.
We did not want to become alcoholics.  We did not try to get this illness.
- Living Sober, p. 9

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

AA-related 'Alconym' . . .
B E S T = Been Enjoying Sobriety Today?

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,
