AA Thought for the Day

February 24, 2009

Adventure

If you're new, get in the car and come along for the ride.
If you want to stare at the floor it's okay.
Those first days and weeks are painful. It hurts. It's frightening.
It's lonely at times but you don't have to go through it twice.
And slowly but surely you'll be looking out the window too
and seeing the changes around you and in you,
and you'll be part of the most incredible adventure of your lifetime.
You'll come to believe that the destination we are traveling to isn't important,
that the joy is in the journey. You won't have to go through it alone.

Thought to Ponder....
