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

November 9, 2013

Experiments
We liked AA all right, and were quick to say that it had done miracles.
But we recoiled from meditation and prayer as obstinately as the scientist
who refused to perform a certain experiment lest it prove his pet theory wrong.
Of course we finally did experiment,
and when unexpected results followed, we felt different; in fact, we knew different.
and so we were sold on meditation and prayer.

- Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, p. 97

Thought to Ponder . . .
Prayer asks the question.  Meditation listens for the answer.

AA-related 'Alconym' . . .
P R A Y E R = Praying Regularly Allows Your Everyday Recovery.

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,
