AA Thought for the Day

June 24, 2005

Fellowship

We are people who normally would not mix.
But there exists among us a fellowship, a friendliness,
and an understanding which is indescribably wonderful.
We are like the passengers of a great liner
the moment after rescue from shipwreck when camaraderie,
joyousness and democracy pervade the vessel
from steerage to Captain's table.
Unlike the feelings of the ship's passengers, however,
our joy in escape from disaster does not subside
as we go our individual ways.
The feeling of having shared in a common peril
is one element in the powerful cement which binds us.
But that in itself would never have held us together
as we are now joined.

Thought to Ponder....

We can make a difference. Without you, there is no 'we.'
