AA Thought for the Day

September 12, 2007

A Voice

Long before nagging and pressures from others concerning
my excessive use of alcohol made any impression on me,
the nagging voice of conscience
-- my own inner voice of truth and right --
apprised me of the irrevocable fact that I had lost control of alcohol,
that I was powerless.
I know now that the inner voice was God, as I understand Him, speaking.
For, as I had been taught from earliest memory and AA has emphasized,
God -- or good -- emanates from within each of us.

Thought to Ponder....

The storm has passed.
I've learned a little more about peace.
It was inside all the time.
