AA Thought for the Day

Laughter

I began to see miracles that happen only in AA.
People who would nearly crawl in the doors,
sick and broken, and who in a few weeks of meetings
and not drinking one day at a time
would get their health back, find a little job
and friends who really cared,
and then discover a God in their lives.
But the most compelling part of AA,
the part that made me want to try this sober thing,
was the laughter, the pure joy of the laughter
that I heard only from sober alcoholics.
