AA Thought for the Day
(courtesy AA-Alive.net)

Radical Formula
We AA's tried out a radical and old-time formula, one rather out of fashion nowadays,
and it had worked. "We admitted we were powerless -- that our lives had become unmanageable."
and "we made a decision to turn our wills and our lives over to God as we understood Him."
Every one of us who could make and fairly well maintain this humbling admission and sweeping decision
had found relief from obsession and had begun to grow
into a totally and wonderfully different mental, physical, and spiritual existence.
- Alcoholics Anonymous Comes of Age, p. 45
