AA Thought for the Day

September 25, 2007

Philosophy

A religion, properly, is of divine origin;
governs the person in his relationship with his Higher Power;
and promises its rewards and punishments after death.
A philosophy is of human origin;
governs the person in his relationship with his fellowman;
and promises its rewards and punishments during life.
AA, I submit, is a philosophy.
If we alcoholics follow the philosophy of AA,
we can regain an understanding of our several religions.

Thought to Ponder....

True religion is the life we lead, not the creed we profess.
