AA Thought for the Day

August 4, 2006

Awakening

To watch the eyes of men and women open with wonder
as they move from darkness into light,
to see their lives quickly fill with new purpose
and meaning,
to see whole families reassembled,
to see the alcoholic outcast received back
into his community in full citizenship,
and above all to watch these people awaken
to the presence of a loving God in their lives --
these are the substance of what we receive
as we carry AA's message to the next alcoholic.
