AA Thought for the Day

Paradox 4
4. We DIE TO LIVE.
That is a beautiful paradox
straight out of the Biblical idea of being "born again"
or "in losing one's life to find it."
When we work at our Twelve Steps,
the old life of guzzling and fuzzy thinking,
and all that goes with it, gradually dies,
and we acquire a different and a better way of life.
As our shortcomings are removed, one life of us dies,
and another life of us lives.
We in AA die to live.
Thought to Ponder....
We surrender to win;
we give away to keep; we suffer to get well;
we die to live.
