AA Thought for the Day

December 3, 2005

Inner Voice

Long before nagging and pressure from others
concerning my excessive use of alcohol
made any impression on me, the nagging voice of conscience
-- my own inner voice of truth and right --
apprised me of the irrevocable fact
that I had lost control of alcohol, that I was powerless.
I know now that the inner voice
was God, as I understand Him, speaking.
For, as I had been taught from earliest memory
and as AA has emphasized, God -- or good --
emanates from within each of us.

Thought to Ponder....

The stillness of God speaks louder
than a choir of voices.
