AA Thought for the Day

February 20, 2007

Action

In shame and despair, I went to my first AA meeting.
By some minor miracle, I was able to suspend opinion,
analysis, judgment, and criticism,
and instead to listen and hear.
I heard someone say that AA works for those who work for it,
those who put action into the program. . .
I heard that I should forget about yesterday
and instead concentrate on today
and staying away from the first drink today -- now.
I tried it and it worked.

Thought to Ponder....

What have I been given today?
Am I willing to reach out and grasp it?
