Surrender
It is only when I have experienced enough emotional pain, through failed attempts to fix myself,
that I become willing to surrender to God's will for my life.
Surrender is like the calm after the storm.  When my will is in line with God's will for me, there is peace within.
- Daily Reflections, p. 77

Thought to Ponder . . .
The storm has passed.  I've learned a little more about peace.  It was inside all the time.

AA-related 'Alconym' . . .
W O W = Willingness Over Willpower.

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,
