AA Thought for the Day

November 22, 2006

Oneness

The idea is in the air that AA might adopt Thanksgiving week
as a time for meetings and meditation
on the Traditions of Alcoholics Anonymous. . .
The Twelve Traditions are a distillate of our experience
of living and working together. . .
What then could be more appropriate than to set aside
Thanksgiving week for discussion of the practical
and spiritual values to be discovered
in our Traditions?
. . . we could show that we deserve to go on receiving
that priceless gift of oneness which God in his wisdom
has so freely given to us of AA
in the precious years of our infancy.
- Bill W., November 1949.

Thought to Ponder....

Together we can do what we could never do alone.
