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

October 22, 2013

Discipline
Unless each AA member follows to the best of his ability
our suggested Twelve Steps to recovery,
he almost certainly signs his own death warrant.
His drunkenness and dissolution are not penalties inflicted by people in authority;
they result from his personal disobedience to spiritual principles.
- Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, p. 174

Thought to Ponder . . .
Great suffering and great love are AA's disciplinarians;
we need no others.

AA-related 'Alconym' . . .
N U T S = Not Using The Steps.


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,
