Week of February 28, 2021


I began to listen . . .

And my sponsor said " . . . 'Now it's time for you to listen to figure out how they are staying sober.' I followed that suggestion and began to listen. Slowly but surely, some wisdom and humility began to creep in. I became more teachable. I found God working all around me where previously I was sure I had been alone."

Alcoholics Anonymous, p.430

Final Thought:

"Most emphatically we wish to say that any alcoholic capable of honestly facing his problems in the light of our experience can recover, provided he does not close his mind to all spiritual concepts."
