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

Demands
The chief activator of our defects has been self-centered fear—primarily fear
that we would lose something we already possessed or would fail to get something
we demanded. Living upon a basis of unsatisfied demands, we were in a state of
continual disturbance and frustration. Therefore, no peace was to be had unless
we could find a means of reducing these demands.The difference between a
demand and a simple request is plain to anyone. 
- Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, (Step Seven) p. 76

Thought to Ponder
All I have feared to lose I have gained and all I feared to gain I have lost.

AA-related 'Alconym'
F E A R  =  Fighting Ego Against Reality.

Thanks to all of you for sharing so generously of your experience, strength and hope in carrying the AA message.
