AA Thought for the Day
August 12, 2006
Grapple
God didn't give me this gift of sobriety
to sit in a rocking chair,
imagining myself as some wise old woman
who has arrived somewhere.
There is no easier, softer way.
To bring the great escape act into sobriety
is to travel with a companion that led me to despair
long ago.
The teaching I receive in AA about courage and love
helps me to continue to grapple
with the challenges of life as they are given to me,
one day at a time.
Thought to Ponder....
Life is a steady drizzle of small things
-- carry an umbrella.
