A.A. Thought for the Day
The satisfaction you get out of living a sober life is made up of a lot of little things, but they add up to a satisfactory and happy life. You take out of life what you put into it. So I'd say to people coming into A.A.: "Don't worry about what life will be like without liquor. Just hang in there and a lot of good things will happen to you. And you'll have that feeling of quiet satisfaction and peace and serenity and gratitude for the grace of God." Is my life becoming really worth living?
The Big Book suggests that we should not regret the past nor wish to shut the door on it. This is a difficult thing to do - but if we work our steps and acknowledge our personality defects then go on to make amends that should provide us with closure on the past. These actions will set us on a path very much different from what we have known. Enjoy the journey today.
