AA Thought for the Day
April 30 The Impossible In our belief any scheme of combating alcoholism which proposes to shield the sick man from temptation is doomed to failure. If the alcoholic tries to shield himself he may succeed for a time, but he usually winds up with a bigger explosion than ever. We have tried these methods. These attempts to do the impossible have always failed. - Alcoholics Anonymous, (Working With Others) p. 101 Thought to Ponder . . . Sobriety without action is fantasy. AA-related 'Alconym' W O R K = What Our Recovery Knows. ~*~A.A. Thoughts For The Day~*~ Compromise "One qualification for a useful life is 'give-and-take,' the ability to compromise cheerfully. Compromise comes hard to us 'all-or-nothing' drunks. Nevertheless we must never lose sight of the fact that progress is nearly always characterized by a series of improving compromises. There are circumstances in which it is necessary to stick flat-footed to one's convictions. Deciding when to compromise and when not to compromise always calls for the most careful discrimination." Bill W., Twelve Concepts for World Service, pp. 39-40 As Bill Sees It, p. 59 Thought to Consider . . . Wisdom in its purest form is sometimes knowing what to overlook. *~*~*AACRONYMS*~*~* BATH Behavior, Attitude, Thinking, and Habits *~*~*~*~*^Just For Today!^*~*~*~*~* Inspiration From "Alcoholics Anonymous Number Three": "I thought, I think I have the answer. Bill was very, very grateful that he had been released from this terrible thing and he had given God the credit for having done it, and he's so grateful about it he wants to tell other people about it. That sentence, 'The Lord has been so wonderful to me, curing me of this terrible disease, that I just want to keep telling people about it,' has been a sort of a golden text for the A.A. program and for me." 2001 AAWS, Inc., Fourth Edition; Alcoholics Anonymous, pg. 191 *~*~*~*~*^ Grapevine Quote ^*~*~*~*~* I can choose to carry the weight of the world and my problems around on my shoulders, or I can turn them all over to my Higher Power and let her worry about them. Toronto, Ontario, May 1984 "Now I Have a Choice!," Spiritual Awakenings II ~*~*~*~*^ Big Book & Twelve N' Twelve Quotes of the Day ^*~*~*~*~* "In dealing with resentments, we set them on paper. We listed people, institutions or principles with whom we were angry. We asked ourselves why we were angry. In most cases it was found that our self-esteem, our pocketbooks, our ambitions, our personal relationships,(including sex) were hurt or threatened." ~Alcoholics Anonymous, 4th Edition, How It Works, pg. 64~ "We feel we are on the Broad Highway, walking hand in hand with the Spirit of the Universe." ~Alcoholics Anonymous, 4th Edition, Into Action, Page 75~ Alcoholics Anonymous saved my life, and it comes first. -Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions p. 159 Misc. AA Literature - Quote Word of Mouth 'In my view, there isn't the slightest objection to groups who wish to remain strictly anonymous, or to people who think they would not like their membership in A.A. known at all. That is their business, and this is a very natural reaction. 'However, most people find that anonymity to this degree is not necessary, or even desirable. Once one is fairly sober, and sure of this, there seems no reason for failing to talk about A.A. membership in the right places. This has a tendency to bring in other people. Word of mouth is one of our most important communications. 'So we should criticize neither the people who wish to remain silent, nor even the people who wish to talk too much about belonging to A.A., provided they do not do so at the public level and thus compromise our whole Society.' LETTER, 1962 Prayer For The Day: Dear Lord, please help me be the inspiration in someone's day. Help me not to discourage but always encourage.
