AA Thought for the Day

Complete Abandon
Some of us have tried to hold on to our old ideas and the result was nil until we let
go absolutely. Remember that we deal with alcohol—cunning, baffling, powerful!
Without help it is too much for us. But there is One who has all power—that One is
God. May you find Him now! Half measures availed us nothing. We stood at the
turning point. We asked His protection and care with complete abandon.

When we surrender to our Higher Power, the journey begins.
