AA Thought for the Day(courtesy aa-alive.net)September 19, 2023A Way Of LifeA.A. is not a plan for recovery that can be finished and done with. It is a way of life, and the challenge contained in its principles is great enough to keep any human being striving for as long as he lives. We do not, cannot, outgrow this plan.- Alcoholics Anonymous, (The Keys Of The Kingdom) p. 275Thought to Ponder . . .AA is not for people who need it, it's not even for people who want it; it's for people who will work it.AA-related 'Alconym Just for Today: My God helps me as I help others.

AA Thought for the Day(courtesy AA-Alive.net)October 22, 2023~ Scroll Down for Share ~No Middle Of The Road SolutionIf you are as seriously alcoholic as we were, we believe there is no middle-of-the-road solution. We were in a position where life was becoming impossible, and if we had passed into the region from which there is no return through human aid, we had but two alternatives: One was to go on to the bitter end, blotting out the consciousness of our intolerable situation as best we could; and the other, to accept Since it is true that God comes to me through people, I can see that by keeping people at a distance I also keep God at a distance. God is nearer to me than I think and I can experience Him by loving people and allowing people to love me. But I can neither love nor be loved if I allow my secrets to get in the way. AA Thought for the Day(courtesy AA-Alive.net)August 13, 2023~ Scroll Down for Share ~Are We Ready?If we would gain any real advantage in the use of this Step on problems other than alcohol, we shall need to make a brand new venture into open- mindedness. We shall need to raise our eyes toward perfection, and be ready to walk in that direction. It will seldom matter how haltingly we walk. The only question will be "Are we ready?"- Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, (Step Six) p. 68Thought to PonderIf I want GoOur Twelfth Step—carrying the message—is the basic service that AA's Fellowship gives; this is our principal aim and the main reason for our existence. AA Thought for the Day(courtesy aa-alive.net)August 3, 2023The Ex-problem DrinkerBut the ex-problem drinker who has found this solution, who is properly armed with facts about himself, can generally win the entire confidence of another alcoholic in a few hours. Until such an understanding is reached, little or nothing can be accomplished.- Alcoholics Anonymous, (There Is A Solution) p. 18Thought to Ponder . . .Together we can do what we could never do alone.AA-related 'Alconym'E S & H = Experience, Stre AA daily reflections are thoughtful reminders that accompany every day in the calendar year to guide and inspire people in recovery. They also serve to act as part of a routine so members can reflect on their progress and how much work they still have to do. The texts are taken primarily from Alcoholics Anonymous literature, but they can come from other sources. They are also usually accompanied by a member’s personal reflection on that passage. What Are The Alcoholics Anonymous Daily Reflections? AA Thought for the Day(courtesy aa-alive.net)September 9, 2023JustificationIn some circumstances we have gone out deliberately to get drunk, feeling ourselves justified by nervousness, anger, worry, depression, jealousy or the like. But even in this type of beginning we are obliged to admit that our justification for a spree was insanely insufficient in the light of what always happened.- Alcoholics Anonymous, (More About Alcoholism) p. 37Thought to Ponder . . .When I choose the behavior, I choose the consequences.AA-re AA Thought for the Day(courtesy aa-alive.net)October 18, 2023People of FaithPeople of faith have a logical idea of what life is all about. Actually, we used to have no reasonable conception whatever. We used to amuse ourselves by cynically dissecting spiritual beliefs and practices when we might have observed that many spiritually-minded persons of all races, colors, and creeds were demonstrating a degree of stability, happiness and usefulness which we should have sought ourselves.- Alcoholics Anonymous, (We Agnostics)

AA Thought for the Day(courtesy aa-alive.net)September 15, 2023The Desperate ExperimentWhat sort of thinking dominates an alcoholic who repeats time after time the desperate experiment of the first drink? Friends who have reasoned with him after a spree which has brought him to the point of divorce or bankruptcy are mystified when he walks directly into a saloon. Why does he? Of what is he thinking?- Alcoholics Anonymous, (More About Alcoholism) p. 35Thought to Ponder . . .We are without defense against the first drink.

Addiction Resource does not offer medical diagnosis, treatment, or advice. Only trained and licensed medical professionals can provide such services. If you or anyone you know is undergoing a severe health crisis, call a doctor or 911 immediately. Faith is the messenger that bears your prayers to God. Prayer can be like incense, rising ever higher and higher. The prayer of faith is the prayer of trust that feels the presence of God which it rises to meet. It can be sure of some response from God. We can say a prayer of thanks to God every day for His grace, which has kept us on the right way and allowed us to start living the good life. So we should pray to God with faith and trust and gratitude.
