AA Thought for the Day

One Man Was Lonely

As I see it, the ever-growing, multiplying, and compounding miracle of AA
is that because one man was lonely, afraid, and sick in a strange city,
I need never to be alone again in a strange city.
Because he sought out a physician for his own incurable disease
and arrested it by helping to heal the physician, there is great hope for me.
Because one man -- greatly gifted by his Higher Power --
failed to live up to the expectations of the crowd,
never scaled the heights of social, financial, or professional worlds,
and never made headlines or created empires, but chose instead
to share his private spiritual awakening with other sufferers,
I have a life to live and share.
