Happiness
We are sure God wants us to be happy, joyous, and free.
We cannot subscribe to the belief that life is a vale of tears,
though it once was just that for many of us.
But it is clear that we made our own misery.  God didn't do it.
Avoid then, the deliberate manufacture of misery, but if trouble comes,
cheerfully capitalize on it as an opportunity
to demonstrate His omnipotence.
- Alcoholics Anonymous, p. 133

Thought to Ponder . . .
True happiness is found in the journey, not the destination.

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,
