AA Thought for the Day

Peace and Joy

Most of us have seen death close up.
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.
