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

February 9, 2016

Believe
Some of us come to believe almost instantly; others take weeks or months; still others take years.
There is no set timetable, and there is no reason to feel guilty over inability to accept the Second Step immediately,
with all its ramifications.  On the other hand, though. . .
if we ignore it or kick it under the rug and hope it goes away, we cut the spiritual heart out of the program.
- The Best of the Grapevine [Vol. 2], p. 138

Thought to Ponder . . .
I came; I came to; I came to believe.

AA-related 'Alconym' . . .
S W A T = Surrender, Willingness, Action, Trust.

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,
