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

October 1, 2013

Fallible
I have never been and never can be perfect.
As that realization became a part of me -- and it took time -- it brought me
one of the greatest of the many blessings that have come to me from AA.
I learned to accept myself as a fallible human being.
I do not have to strive for perfection.  Mistakes are permissible.
I have the right to be wrong.  And what a comfort that thought is to me,
as I make my bemused way through life, one foot in a bucket,
pushing on doors marked "Pull."
- The Best of the Grapevine [Vol. 2], pp. 167-168

Thought to Ponder . . .
The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are.

AA-related 'Alconym' . . .
A A = Always Awesome.

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,
