AA Thought for the Day <!--11305-->
We have slips in A.A. It has been said these are not slips but premeditated drunks, because we have to think about taking a drink before we actually take one. The thought always comes before the act.

Leave yourself alone. —Jenny Janacek— We often pick on ourselves. We put ourselves down. But doing this isn’t part of our recovery. In fact, it goes against our program.

He who does not start life will finish badly, one can tell. —Great Calendar of 1500, quote by… —Philippe Aries— As a species, we’re obsessed with the future.

PROTECTION FOR ALL At the personal level, anonymity provides protection for all members from identification as alcoholics, a safeguard often of special importance to newcomers. At the level of press, radio, TV, and films, anonymity stresses the equality in the Fellowship of all members by putting the brake on those who might otherwise exploit their […]
AA Thought for the Day <!--112925-->
The A.A. way is the way of sobriety, and yet there are slips. Why do these slips occur? Why don’t we all accept A.A. and stay sober from then on? There are many reasons, but it has been proven without exception that once we have become alcoholics we can never drink successfully again. This has […]

Faith is like the air in a balloon. If you’ve got it you’re filled. If you don’t, you’re empty. —Peggy Cahn— Being faith-filled takes effort, not unlike becoming a good writer, tennis player, or pianist.

ACTIVE GUARDIANS To us, however, it represents far more than a sound public relations policy. It is more than a denial of self-seeking.
