AA Thought for the Day

January 20, 2003

Principles

Our basic troubles are the same as everyone else's,
but when an honest effort is made
"to practice these principles in all our affairs,"
well-grounded AA's seem to have the ability, by God's grace,
to take these troubles in stride
and turn them into demonstrations of faith.
We have seen AA's suffer lingering and fatal illness
with little complaint, and often in good cheer.
We have sometimes seen families broken apart
by misunderstanding, tensions, or actual infidelity,
who are reunited by the AA way of life.
