Hope - June 12th


“Hope never abandons you; you abandon it”

   ~ George Weinberg 

A.A. Thought for the Day

When we came into A.A., we made a tremendous discovery. We found that we were sick persons rather than moral lepers. We were not such queer birds as we thought we were. We found other people who had the same illness that we had, who had been through the same experiences that we had been through. They had recovered. If they could do it, we could do it. Was hope born in me the day I walked into A.A.?



For me hope was a return to sanity and balance. Pessimism was replaced by optimism and isolation was replaced by time spent with new friends in AA.
