AA Thought for the Day

September 18, 2004

Newcomers

When I talk with a newcomer to AA,
my past looks me straight in the face.
I see the pain in those hopeful eyes.
I extend my hand, and then the miracle happens:
I become healed.
My problems vanish
as I reach out to this trembling soul.

Thought to Ponder....

Newcomers are the lifeblood of the program,
but our oldtimers are the arteries.
