AA Thought for the Day
(courtesy AA-Alive.net)
December 26, 2013
"Easy Does It"
Relax a little. Try for inner contentment. No one individual can carry all the burdens of the world.
Everyone has problems. Getting drunk won't solve them.
"Twenty-four hours a day." Today is the day.
Doing our best, living each day to the fullest is the art of living.
Yesterday is gone, and we don't know whether we will be here tomorrow.
If we do a good job of living today, and if tomorrow comes for us,
then the chances are we will do a good job when it arrives -- so why worry about it?
- Alcoholics Anonymous, p. 357
Thought to Ponder . . .
Remove the worry from your mind. Remove the anger from your heart.
Give a lot. Expect little. Keep it simple.
AA-related 'Alconym' . . .

Blessings in sobriety to all,
In love and service,
