AA Thought for the Day
January 28 Peace of Mind More and more we became interested in seeing what we could contribute to life. As we felt new power flow in, as we enjoyed peace of mind, as we discovered we could face life successfully, we became conscious of His presence, we began to lose our fear of today, tomorrow, or the hereafter. We were reborn. - Alcoholics Anonymous, p. 63 Thought to Ponder . . . Happiness and peace of mind are always here, open and free to anyone. AA-related 'Alconym' . . . H O P E = Hang On! Peace Exists. ~*~A.A. Thoughts For The Day~*~ Thankfulness I try to hold fast to the truth that a full and thankful heart cannot entertain great conceits. When brimming with gratitude, one's heartbeat must surely result in outgoing love, the finest emotion that we can ever know. Bill W., AAGrapevine, March 1962 c. 1967 AAWS, As Bill Sees It, p. 37 Thought to Consider . . . The peaks and valleys of my life have become gentle rolling hills. *~*~*AACRONYMS*~*~* G I F T S = Getting It From The Steps *~*~*~*~*^Just For Today!^*~*~*~*~* Puzzle >From "More about Alcoholism": "The actual or potential alcoholic, with hardly an exception, will be absolutely unable to stop drinking on the basis of self -knowledge. This is a point we wish to emphasize and re-emphasize, to smash home upon our alcoholic readers as it has been revealed to us out of bitter experience." 2001 AAWS, Inc., Fourth Edition; Alcoholics Anonymous, pg. 39 *~*~*~*~*^ Grapevine Quote ^*~*~*~*~* "Nothing improves if you drink." El Granada, Calif., March 2003 "How an Atheist Works the Steps," Beginners' Book: Getting and Staying Sober in AA ~*~*~*~*^ Big Book & Twelve N' Twelve Quotes of the Day ^*~*~*~*~* "The minute we put our work on a service plane, the alcoholic commences to rely upon our assistance rather than upon God. He clamors for this or that, claiming he cannot master alcohol until his material needs are cared for. Nonsense. Some of us have taken very hard knocks to learn this truth: Job or no job wife or no wife we simply do not stop drinking so long as we place dependence upon other people ahead of dependence on God." ~Alcoholics Anonymous, 4th Edition, Working With Others, pg. 98~ "Resentment is the "number one" offender. It destroys more alcoholics than anything else." ~Alcoholics Anonymous, 4th Edition, How It Works, pg. 64~ He thought it better to give comfort than to receive it; better to understand than to be understood; better to forgive than to be forgiven. -Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions p. 101 Misc. AA Literature - Quote Few of us are any longer afraid of what any newcomer can do to our A.A. reputation or effectiveness. Those who slip, those who panhandle, those who scandalize, those with mental twists, those who rebel at the program, those who trade on the A.A. reputation - all such persons seldom harm an A.A. group for long. Some of these have become our most respected and best loved. Some have remained to try our patience, sober nevertheless. Others have drifted away. We have begun to regard the troublesome ones not as menaces, but rather as our teachers. They oblige us to cultivate patience, tolerance, and humility. We finally see that they are only people sicker than the rest of us, that we who condemn them are the Pharisees whose false righteousness does our group the deeper spiritual damage. Prayer for the Day: Prayer of St. Thomas Aquinas - Grant me, O Lord my God, a mind to know you, a heart to seek you, wisdom to find you, conduct pleasing to you, faithful perseverance in waiting for you, and a hope of finally embracing you. Amen.
