Oldtimers! Listen Up!

This is not for those of you who keep/kept coming like Jack R., John DeL., Jimmy DeL., Don H., Desi, heck, even Clyde F. This is for those of you who have disappeared from the rooms of Alcoholics Anonymous even though you’d still tell us you’re “sober.”

“The Great Paradox”

Which is today’s Daily Reflection;

“These legacies of suffering and of recovery are easily passed among alcoholics, one to another. This is our gift from God, and its bestowal upon others like us is the one aim that today animates A.A.’s all around the globe.”

Notice it says “Our Gift From God.” It is my personal opinion that those of us who keep this gift all to themselves (or tell us they do their “work” outside AA) are some of the most truly arrogant human beings on the planet!

“The great paradox of A.A. is that I know I cannot keep the precious gift of sobriety unless I give it away. My primary purpose is to stay sober. In A.A. I have no other goal, and the importance of this is a matter of life or death for me.”

Well, kudos to you, I guess you’ve found some other way to conquer the challenge of life or death…
