AA Thought for the Day

Isolation
What are we likely to receive from Step Five? For one thing, we
shall get rid of that terrible sense of isolation we've always had.
Almost without exception, alcoholics are tortured by loneliness.
Even before our drinking got bad and people began to cut us off,
nearly all of us suffered the feeling that we didn't quite belong.
- Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, (Step Five) p. 57

Thought to Ponder
An alcoholic is someone who wants to be held while isolating.

AA-related 'Alconym'
Y A N A  =   You Are Not Alone.

Thanks to all of you for sharing so generously of your experience, strength and hope in carrying the AA message.
Grateful to serve,
peyton
