AA Thought for the Day
(courtesy AAOnline.net)

February 4, 2009

Usefulness


We hear a lot in meetings that a grateful alcoholic doesn't get drunk.
What I have found, though, reaches far beyond feeling grateful,
and that is feeling useful.
I believe that when I am grateful, It is usually for what I have been given.
However, when I am useful, it is for what I am able to give.
If nothing else, the program of AA has offered me the ability to be useful.
And for that, I am eternally grateful.
AA Grapevine, February 2009, Vol. 65 No. 9, p. 53

Thought to Ponder . . .

To be sensitive is to feel the thoughts and hearts of others
as only you would want yours felt.

AA-related 'Alconym' . . .

H O W = Honesty, Open-mindedness, Willingness.
