Carry This Message
To watch the eyes of men and women open with wonder as they move from darkness into light,
to see their lives quickly fill with new purpose and meaning, to see whole families reassembled,
to see the alcoholic outcast received back into his community in full citizenship, and above all
to watch these people awaken to the presence of a loving God in their lives—these things are the
substance of what we receive as we carry A.A.'s message to the next alcoholic.

- 12 Steps & 12 Traditions, p. 110

Thought to Ponder
In AA we carry the message ... not the mess.

AA-related 'Alconym'
A L C O H O L I C S  =  A Life Centered On Helping Others Live In Complete Sobriety.



 

Thanks to all of you for sharing so generously of your experience, strength and hope in carrying the AA message.
In grateful service,
