AA Thought for the Day

August 15, 2007

Gratitude

It took several years, but I learned to be grateful for my alcoholism,
and the program of recovery it forced me into,
for all the things that had happened to me and for me,
for a life today that transcends and far exceeds anything
I had previously known.
I could not have that today if I had not experienced all the yesterdays.

Thought to Ponder....

I am grateful for this minute. My eternity may be in it.
