AA Thought for the Day

July 4, 2007

Freedom

Freedom for me is both freedom from and freedom to.
The first freedom I enjoy is freedom from the slavery of alcohol.
What a relief!
The I begin to experience freedom from fear -- fear of people,
of economic insecurity, of commitment, of failure, of rejection.
Then I begin to enjoy freedom to --
freedom to choose sobriety for today, freedom to be myself,
freedom to express my opinion, to experience peace of mind,
to love and be loved, and freedom to grow spiritually. . .
What a joy to be free!

Thought to Ponder....

Happiness and peace of mind are always here, open and free to anyone.
