AA Thought for the Day

February 11, 2004

Change

I began to change. I began to pray.
I became actively involved in working the Steps.
I had previously dismissed them
as the tools of mental inferiors;
now I embraced them as the rungs on the ladder to salvation.
I began working with a sponsor
and became active in my home group.
I did not understand how making coffee or cleaning up after meetings
could have anything to do with staying sober,
but older members told me that service would keep me sober, so I tried it.
It worked.
