AA Thought for the Day

I do not agree that the newcomer is the most important
member at any meeting.
In my opinion, equally important are those old-timers
who showed me the way, and any middle-timer
who may today be suffering.
If newcomers are indeed the lifeblood of AA,
old- and middle-timers are its skin and backbone. . .
So in your next meeting, when the Tradition about
carrying the message "to the alcoholic who still suffers"
is mentioned, please give a thought, not only to newcomers,
but also to the alcoholics older in AA who are sitting there.
One of them might be me. I still suffer, sometimes.
I still need to hear the message, always.

Thought to Ponder....

Newcomers are the lifeblood of the program.
But our oldtimers are the arteries.
