Easier, Softer Way

When I couldn't find an easier, softer way,
I looked for a person with the magic wand, the one person in AA
who could make me all better, right now. This was a frustrating task . . .
I finally realized that if I wanted this life,
I was going to have to do what the others had done.
No one made me drink, and no one was going to make me sober.
This program is for people who want it, not people who need it.
- Alcoholics Anonymous, p. 315

Thought to Ponder . . .
While it isn't always easy, if I keep it simple, it works.

AA-related 'Alconym' . . .
S W A T = Surrender, Willingness, Action, Trust.

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,
