AA Thought for the Day

Truth
As I began to look more closely, I noticed serious flaws:
I was an alcoholic; I was neurotic; I was brimful of character defects.
But these were things that, in time and with help, could be dealt with.
No longer did I have to run with nightmarish terror from an inner monster.
I had seen the truth, and the truth had freed me
to do less hiding and more seeking.
- The Best of the Grapevine [Vol. 1], p. 134
Thought to Ponder . . .
The effort to escape from truth is the father of anxiety.

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,
