AA Thought for the Day

September 5, 2002

Opportunity

It finally became obvious to me
that the God I thought had judged and damned me
had done nothing of the sort.
He had been listening,
and in His own good time His answer came.
His answer was threefold:
the opportunity for a life of sobriety;
Twelve Steps to practice,
in order to attain and maintain that life of sobriety;
fellowship within the program,
ever ready to sustain and help me each twenty-four-hour day.
I hold no illusion that I brought the AA program
of recovery into my life.
I must always consider it a gift of opportunity.
In the use of this opportunity, the onus is on me.

Thought to Ponder....

God opens the door of hope when
we can't reach the handle.
