Hopelessness has been replaced by
abundant hope and sincere faith.
The people of Alcoholics Anonymous
have provided a haven where, if I remain quiet enough
and keep my mind quiet enough,
my Higher Power leads me to amazing realizations.
I find joy in my daily life, in being of service,
in simply being. . .
The things that I have learned from my own experience,
from the Big Book, and from my friends in AA --
patience, acceptance, honesty, humility,
and true faith in a Power greater than myself --
are the tools I use today to live my life,
this precious life.
Hope sees the invisible, feels the intangible, and achieves the impossible.
H O P E = Honesty, Open-mindedness, Patience, Effort.
