AA Thought for the Day

December 2, 2004

Hope

We have known the kind of suffering
that wrenches the bones.
But we also have known the sort of hope
that makes the heart sing. . .
If you are a problem drinker,
you already know enough about pain and loneliness.
We'd like you to find
some of the peace and joy we have found
in meeting the reality of life's ups and downs
with a clear head and a steady heart. . .
If you continue to want to get well,
and remain willing to try new approaches,
our experience convinces us that you have embarked
with hundreds of thousands of companions
on the path of a happy, healthy destiny.

Thought to Ponder....

Hope sees the invisible, feels the intangible,
and achieves the impossible.
