AA Thought for the Day

Rewards

The rewards of sobriety are bountiful
and as progressive as the disease they counteract.
Certainly among these rewards for me
are the release from the prison of uniqueness,
and the realization that participation in the AA way of life
is a blessing and a privilege beyond estimate
-- a blessing to live a life free from the pain and degradation
of drinking and filled with the joy of useful, sober living
and a privilege to grow in sobriety one day at a time
and bring the message of hope as it was brought to me.
