God
We finally saw that faith in some kind of God was a part of our make-up,
just as much as the feeling we have for a friend. Sometimes we had to
search fearlessly, but He was there.
- Alcoholics Anonymous, p . 55


Thought to Ponder . . .
I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't,
than live my life as if there isn't, and die to find out there is.

AA-related 'Alconym' . . .

Hi everyone Craig here, an alkie from Kentucky, USA.  “Filling The Void”—hmmm.  Well, the definition of VOID is “a completely empty space.  Vacuum, emptiness, nothingness, nullity, blankness, vacuity; anyway, that’s some of the definition.  For me, I fill that void every day with my Higher Power who I choose to call God along with praise to Him and it also keeps me from being lonely and sometimes complacent.  I used to fill that hole with beer cans if you could ever fill such a whole.  I couldn’t throw them in any faster.  I could never fill that void with beer cans and liquor bottles.  It’s hard to explain, but God makes me feel complete.  Like I said, I don’t feel lonely.  I fill that empty malady with Spiritual Maintenance.  I don’t feel empty today; my life has taken on new meaning.  Thank you all, and God bless.
