AA Thought for the Day

April 3, 2008

Opportunity

The God I thought had judged and damned me had done nothing of the sort.
He had been listening, and in His own good time His answer came.
His answer was threefold: the opportunity for a life of sobriety;
Twelve Steps to practice, in order to attain and maintain that life of sobriety;
fellowship within the program, ever ready to sustain and help me
each twenty-four hour day.
I hold no illusion that I brought the AA program of recovery into my life.
I must always consider it as a gift of opportunity.
In the use of this opportunity, the onus is on me.
