AA Thought for the Day

Footprints
Stepping into the first footprint that led from the dismal swamp of alcoholism
toward the sunlight of sobriety would not take me far enough.
Would I muddle along on some little trail of my own in the weeds,
vaguely paralleling the clearly marked AA road?
Or would I choose to follow in the exact footsteps of the AA's who had preceded?
The choice was up to me. I could do either, but I had to cover the whole trail
if I wanted to get where the others were. Since I had already taken Step One,
I could decided to stop right there. I could just dry up, period.
I could survive like a raisin the rest of my life.
- The Best of the Grapevine [Vol. 2], p. 136

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,
