AA Thought for the Day

The Big Book

Thus we grow. And so can you,
though you be but one man with this book in your hand.
We believe and hope it contains all you need to begin.
We know what you are thinking. You are saying to yourself:
"I'm jittery and alone. I couldn't do that."
But you can. You forget that you have just now
tapped a source of power much greater than yourself.
To duplicate, with such backing, what we have accomplished
is only a matter of willingness, patience and labor.
