AA Thought for the Day

May 10, 2006

The Lesson

AA doesn't need me, but I need AA.
Very desperately, very sincerely, very humbly.
Not all at once, because you can't get it all at once,
just a little at a time.
They told me, "You've got to get out and work a little;
you've got to give."
They told me that giving was living, and living was loving,
and loving was God.
And you don't have to worry about God, because
He's sitting right in front of your eyes.

Thought to Ponder....

I work for AA.
If I don't work, I don't get better.
There's no recovery without service.
