AA Thought for the Day

March 13, 2008

Happiness

The simplicity of the AA program teaches me
that happiness isn't something I can "demand."
It comes on me quietly, while I serve others.
In offering my hand to the newcomers or to someone who has relapsed,
I find that my own sobriety has been recharged
with indescribable gratitude and happiness.

Thought to Ponder....

Happiness is part of the journey, not some distant destination.
