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, (Step Two) p. 31

Thought to Ponder
A spiritual awakening is our greatest gift.

AA-related 'Alconym'
E G O  =  Edging God Out.

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