“Through our failures and
trials we get the opportunity to
soundly test our merits and virtues.” ~Grapevine: Tuscola, Ill.,
May 1950 "Life is overflowing
with the new. But it is necessary to
empty out the old to make room for the new to
enter." Success is going from
failure to failure without losing enthusiasm. “Compassion is not a
relationship between the healer and the
wounded. It’s a relationship between equals. Only when we know our own
darkness well can we be present with the
darkness of others. Compassion becomes real when we recognize our
shared humanity. “ ~Pema Chödrön -- |

Twenty-Four Hours A.A. Thought For The Day |
|
|
Daily Thought ^*^*^*^*^ (\ ~~ /) ( \(AA)/ ) (_ /AA\ _) / AA \ ^*^*^*^*^ Ghosts A.A. experience has taught us we
cannot live alone with our pressing problems and the character defects which
cause or aggravate them. If we have swept the searchlight of Step Four back
and forth over our careers, and it has revealed in stark relief those experiences
we'd rather not remember, if we have come to know how wrong thinking and
action have hurt us and others, then the need to quit living by ourselves
with those tormenting ghosts of yesterday gets more urgent than ever. We have
to talk to somebody about them. c. 1952 AAWS, Twelve Steps
and Twelve Traditions, p. 55

Daily Reflection Do not be discouraged. ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS,
p. 60 Few experiences are of
less value to me than fast sobriety. Too many times
discouragement has been the bonus for unrealistic expectations,
not to mention self-pity or fatigue from my wanting to change
the world by the weekend. Discouragement is a
warning signal that I may have wandered across the God
line. The secret of fulfilling my potential is in
acknowledging my limitations and believing that time is a gift, not a
threat. Hope is the key that
unlocks the door of discouragement. The program promises me
that if I do not pick up the first drink today, I
will always have hope. Having come to believe that I keep
what I share, every time I encourage, I receive courage. It is
with others that, with the grace of God and the Fellowship of
A.A., I trudge the road of happy destiny. May I always
remember that the power within me is far greater than any
fear before me. May I always have patience, for I am on the
right road. |

Pot Luck As Bill Sees It Singlehanded
Combat, p.245 Few indeed are
those who, assailed by the tyrant alcohol, have ever won through
in singlehanded combat. It is a statistical fact that alcoholics
almost never recover on their personal resources alone. ******************************** 'Way up toward
Point Barrow in Alaska, a couple of prospectors got themselves a
cabin and a case of Scotch. The weather turned bitter, fifty below, and
they got so drunk they let the fire go out. Barely escaping death by
freezing, one of them woke up in time to rekindle the
fire. He was prowling around outside for fuel, and he looked into an
empty oil drum filled with frozen water. Down in the ice cake he saw a
reddish-yellow object. When thawed out, it was seen to be an
A.A. book. One of the pair read the book and sobered up. Legend has it
that he became the founder of one of our farthest north groups. 1. 12 & 12,
p.22 2. A.A. Comes Of
Age, pp. 82-83 |
