AA Thought for the Day

March 16, 2005

The Path

Following this spiritual path
made a major difference in my life.
It seemed to fill that lonely hole that I used to fill
with alcohol.
My self-esteem improved dramatically,
and I knew happiness and serenity
as I had never known it before.
I started to see the beauty and usefulness
in my own existence,
and tried to express my gratitude
through helping others in whatever ways I could.
A confidence and faith entered my life
and unraveled a plan that was bigger and better
than I could have ever imagined.
It wasn't easy, and it has never been easy,
but it gets so much better.

Thought to Ponder....

On this earthly journey,
we trudge upon Heavenly paths.
