AA Thought for the Day

June 11, 2005

Relief

We AA's had tried out a radical and old-time formula,
one rather out of fashion nowadays, and it had worked.
"We admitted that we were powerless --
that our lives had become unmanageable" and
"we made a decision to turn our wills and our lives
over to God as we understood Him."
Every one of us who could make and fairly well maintain
this humbling admission and sweeping decision
had found relief from obsession
and had begun to grow into a totally and
wonderfully different mental, physical,
and spiritual existence.

Thought to Ponder....

Within our wonderful new world,
we have found freedom from our fatal obsession.
