~*~A.A. Thoughts For The Day~*~




Guidance

Walk day by day in the path of spiritual progress.
If you persist, remarkable things will happen.
When we look back, we realize the things which came to us
when we put ourselves in God's hands,
were better than anything we could have planned.
Follow the dictates of a Higher Power
and you will presently live in a new and wonderful world,
no matter what your present circumstances!
1976, 2001AAWS, Alcoholics Anonymous, p. 100

Diagnosis
From "More About Alcoholism":
"We do not like to pronounce any individual as alcoholic, but you can quickly diagnose yourself. Step over to the nearest barroom and try some controlled drinking. Try to drink and stop abruptly. Try it more than once. It will not take long for you to decide, if you are honest with yourself about it. It may be worth a bad case of jitters if you get a full knowledge of your condition."

2001 AAWS, Inc., Fourth Edition; Alcoholics Anonymous, pgs. 31-32

*~*~*~*~*^ Big Book Quote ^*~*~*~*~*


"Outsiders are sometimes shocked when we burst into merriment over a
seemingly tragic experience out of the past. But why shouldn't we
laugh? We have recovered, and have been given the power to help others."

~Alcoholics Anonymous, 4th Edition, The Family Afterward, pg. 132~

"'Now.' concludes the old-timer, 'suppose I'd been obliged to talk to
this man on religious grounds? Suppose my answer had to be that AA
needed a lot of money; that AA went in for education, hospitals, and
rehabilitation? Suppose I'd suggested that I'd take a hand in his
domestic and business affairs? Where would we have wound up? No place,
of course.' Years later, this tough Irish customer liked to say, 'My
sponsor sold me one idea, and that was sobriety. At the time, I
couldn't have bought anything else.'" (Twelve and Twelve, Tradition
Five, pg. 154)
