Experience, Strength, and Hope

If we draw attention only to ourselves, our work is not from God.

What we share in our meetings, in our sponsorship,  and in our lives , is our Experience, Strength and Hope.

Experience
Is an inventory of our past mistakes; that’s how we relate to each other?

 

 

 

 

 

Strength

Is the ability to lift or carry; we lift up our fellows, and  we carry the message of recovery, that helps to keep us sober.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hope
Is the belief that our lives will continue to improve when we do the next right thing; and the next right thing, is not to take that first drink of alcohol.To clean house as suggested in the outline of the Twelve Steps found in our basic text  The Big  Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, and to always trust in God and the process he gave us.

The newcomer is the life’s blood of A.A.

Just as the old timer is its back bone, but relapse is the soul, for there is nothing more tormented that a belly full of booze and a head full of A.A.
