AA Thought for the Day
June 16 Step Twelve Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to alcoholics, and to practice these principles in all our affairs. - Alcoholics Anonymous, (How It Works) p. 60 Thought to Ponder A spiritual awakening is our greatest gift. AA-related 'Alconym' A A = Amazing Awakening. ~*~A.A. Thoughts For The Day~*~ Fun "Every day, I feel a little bit more useful, more happy, and more free. Life, including some ups and downs, is a lot of fun. I am part of AA which is a way of life. If I had not become an active alcoholic and joined AA, I might never have found my own identity or become a part of anything." 1976AAWS, Alcoholics Anonymous, p. 417 Thought to Consider . . . Joy is in knowing there is an answer. *~*~*AACRONYMS*~*~* F I N E = Free, Independent, New and Energetic *~*~*~*~*^Just For Today!^*~*~*~*~* Living From "Fear of Fear:" "I can't afford resentments against anyone, because they are the build-up of another drunk. I must live and let live." 1976, Alcoholics Anonymous, page 325 *~*~*~*~*^ Grapevine Quote ^*~*~*~*~* "Alcoholics Anonymous has an answer to problems in sobriety, making sobriety, eventually, something wonderful instead of something that can drive people to drink." Tasmania, December 2006 "Solutions," AA Grapevine *~*~*~*~*^ Big Book & Twelve N' Twelve Quotes of the Day ^*~*~*~*~* "Most of us have been unwilling to admit we were real alcoholics. No person likes to think he is bodily and mentally different from his fellows. Therefore, it is not surprising that our drinking careers have been characterized by countless vain attempts to prove we could drink like other people. The idea that somehow, someday he will control and enjoy his drinking is the great obsession of every abnormal drinker. The persistence of this illusion is astonishing. Many pursue it into the gates of insanity or death." ~Alcoholics Anonymous, 4th Edition, More About Alcoholism, Page 30~ "The great fact is just this, and nothing less: That we have had deep and effective spiritual experiences which have revolutionized our whole attitude toward life, toward our fellows and toward God's universe. The central fact of our lives today is the absolute certainty that our Creator has entered into our hearts and lives in a way which is indeed miraculous. He has commenced to accomplish those things for us which we could never do by ourselves." ~Alcoholics Anonymous, 4th Edition, There Is A Solution, pg. 25~ "I pointed out that I had had nothing to drink whatever for three years, and this in the face of difficulties that would have made nine out of ten men drink their heads off." -Alcoholics Anonymous p. 138 (To Employers) "And they have increasingly found a peace of mind which can stand firm in the face of difficult circumstances." -Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions p. 104 (Step Eleven) Misc. AA Literature - Quote On studying the Twelve Steps, many of us exclaimed, 'What an order! I can't go through with it.' Do not be discouraged. No one among us has been able to maintain anything like perfect adherence to these principles. We are not saints. The point is that we are willing to grow along spiritual lines. The principles we have set down are guides to progress. We claim spiritual progress rather than spiritual perfection. We recovered alcoholics are not so much brothers in virtue as we are brothers in our defects, and in our common strivings to overcome them. Prayer for the Day: Higher Power, help me through the difficulties, so that my victory over them may bear witness to those I will help.
