A Great Fact

The great fact is just this, and nothing less:
That we have had deep and effective spiritual experiences
which have revolutionized our whole attitude toward life,
toward our fellows and toward God's universe.
The central fact of our lives today is the absolute certainty that our Creator
has entered into our hearts and lives in a way which is indeed miraculous.
- Alcoholics Anonymous, p. 25


A spiritual awakening is our greatest gift.

"Must"

"Must" appears many times in the Big Book, along with a few "absolutes."

This doesn't refer to our requirements for working the Program.

It just lets us concentrate on what we can do, not on what we can't.

Today -- Spend It Wisely

If you want to change who you are, change what you do.
The Big Book is like a cookbook - you can read it all day long and starve.
You have to take the action.
If you stay humble, you will not stumble.
Our neighbor's window looks much cleaner if we first wash our own.

Yesterday is a canceled check,

tomorrow is a promissory note,

today is cash in hand,

spend it wisely.
