AA Thought for the Day

July 13, 2005

Hope

Most of us have seen death close up.
We have known the kind of suffering
that wrenches the bones.
But we also have known the sort of hope
that makes your heart sing. . .
If you are a problem drinker,
you already know enough about pain and loneliness.
We'd like you to find some of the peace and joy
we have found
in meeting the reality of life's ups and downs
with a clear head and a steady heart.

Thought to Ponder....

Hope is the key
that unlocks the door of discouragement.
