AA Thought for the Day

April 25

Centered
Getting myself into the present centers me. I've come to believe that God is taking care of me.
The relief was swift as I realized I only had to get through the next hour, half-hour, or even ten minutes.
It's a miracle how the process works.
- Thank You For Sharing, p. 55

Thought to Ponder . . .
Every recovery from alcoholism began with one sober hour.

AA-related 'Alconym' . . .
S I T = Stay In Today.

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

Self-restraint
"Nothing pays off like restraint of tongue and pen.
We must avoid quick-tempered criticism
and furious power-driven argument.
The same goes for silent scorn.
These are emotional booby traps
baited with pride and vengefulness.
We can neither think nor act to good purpose
until the habit of self-restraint
has become automatic."
Bill W., Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, p. 91

Choices
>From "'Use Me'":
"The voice that answered was calm and sweet beyond description. 'You have the strength. All you have to do is use it. I
am here. I am with you. Use Me.'
"I was born again that day. From that moment, the compulsion was lifted. In the eleven years since, I have found in
sobriety what I was searching for in the bottle. I wanted peace; God gave me peace. I wanted acceptance; God
accepted me. I wanted to be loved; God assured me that He loved me."
1973 AAWS, Inc.; Came to Believe, 30th printing 2004, pg. 33

*~*~*~*~*^ Grapevine Quote ^*~*~*~*~*

"AA has given each and every one of its groups and members the inalienable right to be unerringly wrong, which has
many times resulted in the liberty to be foolish, the sovereignty to self-destruct, and the self-determination to learn from mistakes."
Bowling Green, Kentucky, April 2012
"Safe in the Storm,"
AA Grapevine

~*~*~*~*^ Big Book & Twelve N' Twelve Quotes of the Day ^*~*~*~*~*

"'There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which
is proof against all arguments and which cannot fail to keep a man in
everlasting ignorance that principle is contempt prior to
investigation.'"
~Alcoholics Anonymous, 4th Edition, Appendice II, Spiritual Experience, pg. 568~

"To be doomed to an alcoholic death or to live on a spiritual basis
are not always easy alternatives to face."
~Alcoholics Anonymous, 4th Edition, We Agnostics, Page 44~

Misc. AA Literature - Quote

Essence of Growth
Let us never fear needed change. Certainly we have to discriminate between changes for worse and changes for
better. But once a need becomes clearly apparent in an individual, in a group, or in A.A. as a whole, it has long since
been found out that we cannot stand still and look the other way.
The essence of all growth is a willingness to change for the better and then an unremitting willingness to shoulder
whatever responsibility this entails.
GRAPEVINE, JULY 1965

Prayer For The Day: Dear Father, I thank you for this day. I ask for forgiveness for any wrong that I may do. Help me in my journey today as I share your kindness and wisdom.
