I never just sit and do nothing while waiting for Him to tell me what to do. Rather, I do whatever is in front of me to be done, and I leave the results up to Him; however it turns out, that’s God’s will for me. I must keep my magic magnifying mind on my acceptance and off my expectations, for my serenity is directly proportional to my level of acceptance.- Alcoholics An

Thy will be done."AA-related 'Alconym'C A L M = Cause Ange Every day is a day when we must carry the vision of God's will into all of our activities. "How can I best serve Thee—Thy will (not mine) be done." Anonymity is the spiritual foundation of all our Traditions, ever reminding us to place principles before personalities.AA Thought for the Day(courtesy aa-alive.net)October 20, 2023MotivesThis odd trait of mind and emotion, this perverse wish to hide a bad motive underneath a good one, permeates human affairs from top to bottom. This subtle and elusive kind of self-righteousness can underlie the smallest act or thought. Learning daily to spot, admit, and correct these flaws is the essence of character-building and good living.- Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, (Step Ten) pp. 94 - 95Thought to Ponder . . .Self-righteousness is a loud d AA Thought for the Day(courtesy AA-Alive.net)October 1, 2023~ Scroll Down for Share ~AmazedIf we are painstaking about this phase of our development, we will be amazed before we are half way through.

Our Twelfth Step—carrying the message—is the basic service that AA's Fellowship gives; this is our principal aim and the main reason for our existence. AA Thought for the Day(courtesy aa-alive.net)July 31, 2023PrayerTherefore, we ought to consider each request carefully to see what its real merit is. Even so, when making specific requests, it will be well to add to each one of them this qualification: "…if it be Thy will." We ask simply that throughout the day God place in us the best understanding of His will that we can have for that day, and that we be given the grace by which we may carry it out.- Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, (Step Eleven) p. 102Th AA Thought for the Day(courtesy aa-alive.net)October 17, 2023Our SufferingWhen we habitually try to manipulate others to our own willful desires, they revolt, and resist us heavily. Then we develop hurt feelings, a sense of persecution, and a desire to retaliate. As we redouble our efforts at control, and continue to fail, our suffering becomes acute and constant. We have not once sought to be one in a family, to be a friend among friends, to be a worker among workers, to be a useful member of society.- Twelve Steps and I have hope. That magic thing that I had lost or misplaced. The future looks dark no more. I do not even look at it, except when necessary to make plans. I try to let the future take care of itself. The future will be made up of todays and todays, stretching out as short as now and as long as eternity. Hope is justified by many right nows, by the rightness of the present. Nothing can happen to me that God does not will for me. I can hope for the best, as long as I have what I have and it is good. Have I hope?One relevant finding in these studies is that, compared with different levels of participation in the AA program, the more intense and structured programs (like those using AA quotes) were found to produce better results than those who only participated in meetings and nothing else.

And wisdom to know the difference.- Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, (Step Twelve) p. 125Thought to Ponder . . .Serenity isn't freedom from the storm; it is peace within the storm.AA-related 'Alconym'P A U S E = Pr AA Thought for the Day(courtesy aa-alive.net)August 24, 2023True KinshipBut we soon discovered that while we weren't alone any more in a social sense, we still suffered many of the old pangs of anxious apartness. Until we had talked with complete candor of our conflicts, and had listened to someone else do the same thing, we still didn't belong. Step Five was the answer. It was the beginning of true kinship with man and God. - Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, (Step Five) p. 57Thought to Ponder . . .To the world, you AA Thought for the Day(courtesy aa-alive.net)October 6, 2023*True Ambition*That we need no longer be square pegs in round holes but can fit and belong in God's scheme of things—these are the permanent and legitimate satisfactions of right living for which no amount of pomp and circumstance, no heap of material possessions, could possibly be substitutes. True ambition is not what we thought it was. True ambition is the deep desire to live usefully and walk humbly under the grace of God.- Twelve Steps and Twelve Tradition
