AA Thought for the Day

A New Dimension

Beaten into complete defeat by alcohol,
confronted by the living proof of release,
and surrounded by those who can speak to us from the heart,
we have finally surrendered.
And then, paradoxically,
we have found ourselves in a new dimension,
the real world of spirit and of faith.
Enough willingness, enough open-mindedness
-- and there it is!
- Bill W., July 1960.

Thought to Ponder....

We surrender to win;
we give away to keep; we suffer to get well;
we die to live.
