AA Thought for the Day
July 4, 2006
Freedom
Looking back we see that our freedom to choose badly
was not, after all, a very real freedom.
When we choose because we "must,"
this was not a free choice either. . .
But when, now and then, we could gladly make
right choices without rebellion, holdout, or conflict,
then we had our first view of what perfect freedom
under God's will could be like. . .
For most of us its perfect attainment has to be a lifetime
and, more probably, an eternal job.
But we know that this highest plateau is really there --
a goal someday to be reached.
- Bill W., May 1960.

Thought to Ponder....
Serenity isn't freedom from the storm;
it is peace within the storm.
