Magnolia Says: When we stop blaming our disease for our behavior and surrender that is when we start listening to God. Reading the acceptance prayer helped me alot when I first got into the program, I read it faithfully everyday for three years. I still reflect on it.

The doctors had given me six months to live, in February I will have 9 years, by the grace of God. Thanks to everyone in the fellowship, I love how the program has and is teaching me to live on life's terms.

Note: The "Thoughts of the Day" are from members of various 12 step programs. Some will are A.A., some Al-Anon, and some Adult Children of Alcoholics. Take what you need and leave the rest!
