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

June 13, 2013

A Simple Contrast
The simple contrast between active alcoholism and active sobriety
has helped me to seek, to listen, and to apply the good principles of living,
and I am rewarded with much more excitement and joy
than was mine before AA sobriety.
By accepting this sobriety gratefully, as a gift, and using it willingly,
I have become aware of other gifts available to me as a human being.
To get the benefits, I need only to ask and then use.
- Came To Believe . . ., p. 4

Thought to Ponder . . .
What have I been given today?
Am I willing to reach out and grasp it?

AA-related 'Alconym' . . .
H J F = Happy, Joyous, Free.

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,
