Sobriety is only a bare beginning,
it is only the first gift of the first awakening.
If more gifts are to be received,
our awakening has to go on.
And if it does go on, we find that bit by bit
we can discard the old life -- the one that did not work --
for a new life that can and does work
under any conditions whatever.
Regardless of worldly success or failure,
regardless of pain or joy,
regardless of sickness or health or even of death itself,
a new life of endless possibilities can be lived
if we are willing to continue our awakening.
-Bill W., December 1957.

Thought to Ponder....

A spiritual awakening is our greatest gift.
