AA Thought for the Day

Tornado
The alcoholic is like a tornado roaring his way through the lives of others.
Hearts are broken. Sweet relationships are dead. Affections have been uprooted.
Selfish and inconsiderate habits have kept the home in turmoil.
We feel a man is unthinking when he says that sobriety is enough.
He is like the farmer who came up out of his cyclone cellar to find his home ruined.
To his wife, he remarked,
“Don’t see anything the matter here, Ma. Ain’t it grand the wind stopped blowin’?”
- Alcoholics Anonymous, p. 82
Thought to Ponder . . .
Sobriety is a journey, not a destination.
AA-related 'Alconym' . . .
A A = Altered Attitudes.
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,
