A New Perspective
For some of us, it is easier to slow ourselves down if we have the help of another person.
We may be unable to generate our own peace, but sometimes we can make ourselves sit quietly
and listen to a friend who has achieved a measure of serenity.
Full attention to someone else helps restore our equilibrium and gives us a new perspective on our own lives,
so that we may see that they don't have to be a rat race.
- Living Sober, p. 45

Thought to Ponder . . .
A friend is one who sees through you and still enjoys the view.

AA-related 'Alconym' . . .
T L C = Tears, Laughter, Caring.

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,
