AA Thought for the Day

October 20, 2003

Passing It On

I have no more idea of taking a drink
to aid me through a difficult period
than I would if I had never drank.
But I know absolutely that the minute I close my channels
with sorrow for myself, or being hurt by,
or resentful towards anyone,
I am in horrible danger.
I know that my victory is none of my human doing.
I know that I must keep myself worthy of Divine help.
And the glorious thing is this:
I am free, I am happy, and perhaps I am going to have
the blessed opportunity of
"passing it on."
I say in all reverence -- Amen.
- Florence R., first woman to get sober in AA.
