AA Thought for the Day

March 16, 2006

The Message

If Alcoholics Anonymous had provided me
with a social life, a job, and a husband,
I'd have had no reason to place my reliance upon God.
If they had done anything
other than carry the message of recovery,
I might have missed it.
Thank God that's all AA does.
Each of us, having had a spiritual awakening
as a result of the Twelve Steps,
tries to carry this message to the alcoholic who wants it.
This is how I stay sober.
And if you keep coming back,
you don't have to drink again either,
if you don't want to.
