AA Thought for the Day

July 26, 2007

Spirituality

AA is a spiritual program and a spiritual way of life.
Even the first half of the First Step,
"We admitted we were powerless over alcohol,"
is a spiritual experience.
An AA member needs more than physical capabilities;
he needs the use of his full faculties as a human being to hear the message,
to think about it, to review the effects of the past,
to realize, to admit, and to accept.
These processes are activities of the mind,
which is part of the spirit.
Yes, I began with blind faith, but the proof of truth is that it works.
