AA Thought for the Day
(courtesy AAOnline.net)

April 4, 2008

Yesterdays

It took several years, but I learned to be grateful for my alcoholism and the program of recovery it forced me into, for all the things that happened to me and for me, for a life today that transcends and far exceeds
anything I have previously known.
I could not have that today if I had not experienced all the yesterdays.

Alcoholics Anonymous, p. 529

Thought to Ponder . . .

Every day is a gift.
That is why we call it the present.

AA-related 'Alconym' . . .

It reminds me of this phrase...You don't know where you are going if you don't know where you have been. Aim for the stars. Pray. Be vigilant. Be in the moment. Thanks Sherroll.

Thank you for this posting. It was so helpful to me, as I am still trying so hard to let go of regret. I think it is important to embrace my past as part of who I am and be happy for who I am today

    I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

    A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
