AA Thought for the Day

Pain
Someone who knew what he was talking about once remarked that
pain was the touchstone of all spiritual progress. How heartily we
A.A.'s can agree with him, for we know that the pains of drinking had
to come before sobriety, and emotional turmoil before serenity. 
- Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, (Step Ten) pp. 93 - 94

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

AA-related 'Alconym'
H O P E  =  Hold On, Pain Ends.

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