AA Thought for the Day

Foundation Stones
One thing I've learned in AA is not to be an alarmist.
Still, around the groups I attend, it does seem
that we AA's sometimes get a little funny about the Traditions.
That's what prompted me to wonder: What would happen if we all decided
to let somebody else safeguard these twelve foundation stones?
If you woke up one morning, and found there was simply no more AA,
where would that leave you? Yeah, that's the feeling I got, too.

Thought to Ponder . . .
The Twelve Steps tell us how it works;
the Twelve Traditions tell us why it works.
AA-related 'Alconym' . . .
T R U S T = Try Relying Upon Steps and Traditions.
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,
