AA Thought for the Day

May 18, 2005

Mercy

I had the shakes, I cried all the time, I couldn't sleep,
I craved sweets, but I would eat them and get sick.
Fortunately, God didn't give up on me
even when I was ready to give up on myself.
I went to a meeting every day for ninety days,
got a sponsor, and didn't drink one day at a time.
Slowly, God began to fill that hole in my heart
with His goodness and mercy.
