AA Thought for the Day

Modem-to-Modem

Twice this week, I've had tormented thoughts at three A.M.
Do I have to phone and wake someone up for support?
No, because other sober insomniacs are online,
ready to help me through the night. I didn't want a drink,
I just needed the loving support of the Fellowship.
Knowing I can talk and apply the Steps to my chaotic thoughts
and feelings at three A.M. makes a world of difference to me.
As to whether online meetings violate Traditions, I say, "Bah, humbug!"
I can't go to a meeting in Pakistan today -- does that make it not a real meeting?
Online meetings are like any other -- if you get there, you are welcome there.
