AA Thought for the Day
February 25, 2006
Challenges
Life is meant to be lived by facing the challenges it brings.
Otherwise, I'm not living, just existing.
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.
