The AA members who sponsored me told me
in the beginning that I would not only find a way to live
without having a drink,
but that I would find a way to live
without wanting to drink. . .
They said if you want to know how this program works,
take the first word of your question --
the H is for honesty, the O for open-mindedness
and the W for willingness,
these our Book calls the essentials of recovery.

Thought to Ponder....

Open up to hope and new possibilities.
