AA Thought for the Day

Defiance
“When we encountered A.A., the fallacy of our defiance was revealed.
At no time had we asked what God's will was for us;
instead we had been telling Him what it ought to be.
No man, we saw, could believe in God and defy Him, too.
Belief meant reliance, not defiance.". 
- Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, p. 31

Thought to Ponder
Today, my brain has cleared with the grace of clarity.

AA-related 'Alconym'
F R O G  =  Fully Rely On God.

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