'TODAYS' AA ACRONYM

A A
Altered Attitudes...

~ THAT 'LABEL' ~

''When alcoholics live materialistically
and drink excessively,
they refuse to accept the label of 'alcoholic.'

Yet when they say to themselves and to the world,
'We are alcoholics,'
the world refuses to see them as such.

What an unthinking world may look upon as defeat,
alcoholics in AA
know as a triumph of the spirit,
a triumph of humility over false pride
and self-centeredness.

How few human beings ever have the courage
to stand up before their neighbors and, in humility,
describing themselves truthfully, to say:
'This is what I really am.' ''

Alcoholics Anonymous Comes of Age, Page 278,
© 1957 A.A. World Services, Inc.

'TODAYS' AA THOUGHT

I Would Rather Go Through Life Sober,
Believing I Am An Alcoholic, Than Go Through Life Drunk,
Trying To Convince Myself ... That I Am Not!

THE PROMISES
Of Alcoholics Anonymous, Big Book, Pages 83-84,
As Contained In Step Nine. . .

If we are painstaking about this phase of our development, we will be
  amazed before we are half way through.
We are going to know a new freedom and a new happiness.
We will not regret the past nor wish to shut the door on it.
We will comprehend the word serenity and we will know peace.
No matter how far down the scale we have gone, we will see how our
  experience can benefit others.
That feeling of uselessness and self-pity will disappear.
We will lose interest in selfish things and gain interest in our fellows.
Self-seeking will slip away.
Our whole attitude and outlook upon life will change.
Fear of people and of economic insecurity will leave us.
We will intuitively know how to handle situations which used to baffle
  us.
We will suddenly realize that God is doing for us what we could not do
  for ourselves.

Are these extravagant promises? We think not! They are being fulfilled among us sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly. They will always materialize if we work for them....








send us an email address and i'll be happy to
'pass this message on'
to another sick and suffering alcoholic.

''There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all arguements and which cannot fail to keep a man in everlasting ignorance- that principle is contempt prior to investigation.''
Herbert Spencer

(Big Book, Appendix II, 'Spiritual Experience' Pg. 567)






           

      GOD . . .

. . . 'GRANT ME' THE SERENITY . . . 'TO ACCEPT' THE THINGS I CANNOT CHANGE . . . 'COURAGE TO' CHANGE THE THINGS I CAN . . . 'AND WISDOM' TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE . . .

'Thy Will' . . . be done . . . Not Mine!


                 

Third Step Prayer

"Nothing matters more to AA's future welfare than the manner in which we use the colossus of modern communication. Used unselfishly and well, it can produce results surpassing
our present imagination."
