Hope
Hope is the priceless ingredient for recovery.
This, AA gives, most frequently not in mere words.
Upon the alcoholic's first contact with AA, as he looks around the room and sees
men and women respectively clothed and in their right minds, enjoying themselves,
that flicker of hope begins to burn.  And he says to himself,
"If these jokers can do it, I can."
The first need, beyond any other, is hope.  Without it, there is nothing.
- The Best of the Grapevine [Vol. 1], pp. 156-157

Thought to Ponder . . .
Hope sees the invisible, feels the intangible, and achieves the impossible.
