AA Thought for the Day

December 7, 2002

A Date With Destiny

We are again citizens of the world.
It is a distraught world, very tired, very uncertain.
It has worshipped its own self-sufficiency
-- and that has failed.
We AA's are a people who once did that very thing.
That philosophy failed us, too.
So perhaps, here and there,
our example of recovery can help.
As individuals, we have a responsibility,
maybe a double responsibility.
It may be that we have a date with destiny.
- Bill W., October 1944.

Thought to Ponder....

Faith is our greatest gift;
its sharing with others our greatest responsibility.
