AA Thought for the Day

January 5, 2007

Carry The Message

If AA had provided me with a social life,
a job, and a husband,
I'd have had no reason to place my reliance upon God.
If they had done anything
other than carry the message of recovery,
I might have missed it.
Thank God, that's all AA does.
Each of us tries to carry this message of recovery
to the alcoholic who wants it.
This is how I stay sober.
And if you keep coming back,
you don't have to drink again either,
if you don't want to.

Thought to Ponder....

In AA we don't carry the alcoholic;
we carry the message.
