AA Thought for the Day

January 18, 2007

Newcomers

When I talk to a newcomer to AA,
my past looks me straight in the face.
I see the pain in those hopeful eyes,
I extend my hand, and then the miracle happens;
I become healed.
My problems vanish as I reach out to this trembling soul.

Thought to Ponder....

I want the hand of AA always to be there.
And for that: I am responsible.
