AA is a Spirit
It can not be touched nor can it be completely understood. It is as wide as the world yet small enough to fit
snugly into the mind and heart of man.It has brought light where only darkness dwells. It has given hope to the helpless and helps
those who yearn in despair. It has nourished forgiveness in those who know no pity. It has given strength to the weak and humility
to the strong.
It has gives greatness to the common. It has spurred to higher goals those who strove for nothing. It has brought
to the destitute a home. It has transformed sorrow into a weapon of happiness. It has given purpose to the trackless and shelter to
the lost. It has taught patience to the hurried and action to the slothful. To the youth it has given wisdom. To the aged, it’s promises.
To the lonely, companions. To the restless, rest. To the sick it has been a doctor.
To the dying it revives the desire to live.
To those who have fallen, gives a helping hand. It has no judgment against the un-teachable, nor has it praise for those who learn.
To the outcast it has been a family.To the childless it has presented children. To the ignorant, it delivers wisdom. To the wise,
it passed on tolerance. It has given to all man that which is most precious, it has given love for truth with enough left over to
share with each other.
"Food for thought"
Hi folks, just a word from the web master on behalf of some silly debates re the on going recovered or
recovering discussions. This is fast becoming a contentious issue in a few meetings online. Sadly a number of us feel it is not needed,
it's just a flaunt of ego and one upmanship side tracking us from our Primary Purpose.
It is definately no good for our
cameraderie and lessens the impact of our wonderful compassion as caring examples of our loving fellowship in action. So what if your
recovered or recovering introduce yourself as such and leave it there, the reality of it all is your are not drinking today and that's
what its all about.
Be mindful of the new comer and kind to one another, dont let trivial things stand in the way to
create resentments and affect valuable friendships. What we are noticing is the adverse affect it is having upon newcomers. Lets cut
it guys, the last thing we need is to score points. Lets stay on equal level and love our fellows, God will surely bless us, if we
do!
Respect each others feelings, if a person says he/she is recovering alcoholic, so be it, and vice versa. A few of us have witnessed
this silly ugly ego building arrogance rising to a point of contention of late and its no good for you, me or the new
comer.
We dont need to let our ego's get us where we have to impress our buddies with our 'so called command of the Big
Book'. If member comes up on the floor and says he is a 'such and such alcoholic', live and let live, dont follow them up and take
their inventory...you don't like it, I don't like it and the final word on the whole thing, thats their business, not ours.
In
closing, I personally rather listen to a new member share on his recent new found spirituality than hear a long diatribe in regards
why we should say we are recovered, or recovering, it's such a big turn off...leave that to the likes of Billy Graham, this is AA...a
fellowship of love and understanding...thank you!
