AA Thought for the Day
(courtesy AA-Alive.net)
January 3, 2013
Powerless
All I had to do was ask myself a simple question:
"Am I or am I not powerless over alcohol?"
I didn't have to compare myself or my experiences with anyone,
just answer a simple question.
The AA Grapevine, March 1962
Thought to Ponder . . .
I would rather go through life sober, believing I am an alcoholic,
than go through life drunk, trying to convince myself that I am not.
AA-related 'Alconym' . . .
A A = Aways Awesome.
Thanks to all of you for sharing so generously of your experience, strength and hope in carrying the AA message.
Blessings in sobriety to all,
In love and service,
