AA Thought for the Day

January 4, 2003

Keys of the Kingdom

There is no more "aloneness," with that awful ache,
so deep in the heart of every alcoholic
that nothing, before, could ever reach it.
That ache is gone and never need return again.
Now there is s sense of belonging,
of being wanted and needed and loved.
In return for a bottle and a hangover,
we have been given the Keys of the Kingdom.

Thought to Ponder....

Who we are is God's gift to us.
Who we become is our gift to God.
