AA Thought for the Day

June 3, 2004

Beginnings

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.

Thought to Ponder....

If I have the courage to begin,
I have the courage to succeed.
