AA Thought for the Day
(courtesy AA-Alive.net)
August 30, 2022
Humbly Offered
At the hospital I was separated from alcohol for the last time.
Treatment seemed wise, for I showed signs of delirium tremens.
There I humbly offered myself to God, as I then understood Him,
to do with me as He would. I placed myself unreservedly under
His care and direction. I admitted for the first time that of myself
I was nothing; that without Him I was lost.
- Alcoholics Anonymous, (Bill's Story) p. 13

Grateful to serve,
