AA Thought for the Day

November 28, 2007

Challenges

I know now I have a lot of work to do.
There are more amends to be made, letters to be sent.
Twelfth Step work to be done, responsibilities to be assumed,
and honest talks to be had with loved ones.
Life is meant to be lived by facing the challenges it brings.
Otherwise, I'm not living, just existing.
God didn't give me this gift of sobriety to sit in a rocking chair,
imagining myself as some wise old woman who has arrived somewhere.
