Paradox
Such is the paradox of AA regeneration:
strength arising out of complete defeat and weakness,
the loss of one's old life
as a condition for finding a new one.
But we of AA do not have to understand this paradox;
we have only to be grateful for it.
- Bill W.
Thought to Ponder....
Paradox:
We surrender to win; we give away to keep;
we suffer to get well; we die to live.
