AA Thought for the Day

December 13

Honest and Willing
RARELY HAVE we seen a person fail who has thoroughly followed our path.
Those who do not recover are people who cannot or will not, completely give themselves to this simple program,
usually men and women who are constitutionally incapable of being honest with themselves.
- Alcoholics Anonymous, p. 58

Thought to Ponder
Willingness, honesty and open-mindedness are the essentials of recovery.

AA-related 'Alconym'
H O W = Honest, Open-minded, Willing.

~*~A.A. Thoughts For The Day~*~

Cordial Welcome
But life among Alcoholics Anonymous
is more than attending gatherings and visiting hospitals.
Cleaning up old scrapes,
helping to settle family differences,
explaining the disinherited son to his irate parents,
lending money and securing jobs for each other,
when justified -- these are everyday occurrences.
No one is too discredited or has sunk too low
to be welcomed cordially -- if he means business.
c. 2001AAWS, Alcoholics Anonymous, p. 161

Thought to Consider . . .
If you wish to travel far and fast, travel light.
Take off all your envies, jealousies,
unforgiveness, selfishness, and fears.

>From "Changing Beliefs":
"Slowly and painfully, I became aware of myself. I began to see it wasn't true that I didn't believe in anything. Rather, I had
believed in the wrong things 'There is good in all of us. Seek it out, nurture it, tend it, and it will flourish.' So I began
searching for the positives within me."
1973 AAWS, Inc.; Came to Believe, 30th printing 2004, pg. 103

"My desire to drink became a desire not to."

~*~*~*~*^ Big Book & Twelve N' Twelve Quotes of the Day ^*~*~*~*~*

"We, in our turn, sought the same escape with all the desperation of
drowning men. What seemed at first a flimsy reed, has proved to be
the loving and powerful hand of God. A new life has been given us
or, if you prefer, "a design for living" that really works."
~Alcoholics Anonymous, 4th Edition, There Is A Solution, pg. 28~

"An alcoholic in his cups is an unlovely creature."
~Alcoholics Anonymous, 4th Edition, Bill's Story, pg. 16~

Counsel with persons is often desirable, but we let God be the final judge.
-Alcoholics Anonymous p.70

One unkind tirade or one willful snap judgment can ruin our relation with another person for a whole day, or maybe a whole year.
-Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions p.91

Misc. AA Literature - Quote

'Not all large decisions can be well made by simply listing the pros and cons of a given situation, helpful and necessary
as this process is. We cannot always depend on what seems to us to be logical. When there is doubt about our logic,
we wait upon God and listen for the voice of intuition. If, in meditation, that voice is persistent enough, we may well gain
sufficient confidence to act upon that, rather than upon logic. 'If, after an exercise of these two disciplines, we are still
uncertain, then we should ask for further guidance and, when possible, defer important decisions for a time. By then,
with more knowledge of our situation, logic and intuition may well agree upon a right course. 'But if the decision must be
now, let us not evade it through fear. Right or wrong, we can always profit from the experience.'

Prayer for the Day: Usefulness Prayer - God, Help me today to find balance between my character defects and the principles of our program so as, to be useful to myself, all other, and You, the God of my understanding.
