AA Thought for the Day

We're all after the same thing, and that's happiness.
We want peace of mind.
The trouble with us alcoholics was this:
We demanded that the world give us happiness
and peace of mind
in just the particular way we wanted it --
by the alcohol route. And we weren't successful.
But when we take time to find out some of the
spiritual laws, and familiarize ourselves with them,
and put them into practice,
then we do get happiness and peace of mind. . . .
There seem to be some rules that we have to follow,
but happiness and peace of mind are always here,
open and free to anyone.
- Dr. Bob S., co-founder of AA.

Thought to Ponder....

Happiness is part of the journey,
not some distant destination.
