AA Thought for the Day

Thanks to the Eleventh Step, I have had to discard from my mind
all the thoughts and beliefs that were once there.
I gave them up reluctantly.
I liked my old thoughts, even was proud of them.
I didn't want to believe in God,
but through AA I got to the point where I had to.
I didn't want to believe in prayer, but finally I had to.
Now I believe it to be the strongest force on earth -- if the quietest. . .
When I came into AA, if anyone had told me that I would some day
believe what I now believe, I think I would have shot him. . .
Now, as I look back, I realize that AA was teaching me spiritual values
without using religious words.

Thought to Ponder....

I would rather live my life as if there is a God
and die to find out there isn't,
than live my life as if there isn't
and die to find out there is.
