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

Merciless Obsession
Under the lash of alcoholism, we are driven to A.A.,
and there we discover the fatal nature of our situation.
Then, and only then, do we become as open-minded to conviction
and as willing to listen as the dying can be. We stand ready to do
anything which will lift the merciless obsession from us. 
- Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, "Step One," p. 24

Thought to Ponder
The gritty pain of alcoholism is the traction of recovery.

AA-related 'Alconym'

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