Never Enough
For thousands of years we have been demanding more than
our share of security, prestige, and romance. When we seemed
to be succeeding, we drank to dream still greater dreams.
When we were frustrated, even in part, we drank for oblivion.
Never was there enough of what we thought we wanted.
- Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, (Step Seven) p. 71
Thought to Ponder
Happiness isn't getting all you want,
it's wanting what you already have.
AA-related 'Alconym'
A A = Attitude Adjustment.
Thanks to all of you for sharing so generously of your experience, strength and hope in carrying the AA message.
Grateful to serve,
