Big Book Quote of the Day - May 26, 2009

"Outsiders are sometimes shocked when we burst into merriment over a seemingly tragic experience out of the past. But why shouldn't we laugh? We have recovered, and have been given the power to help others."

- Alcoholics Anonymous, 4Th Edition, The Family Afterward, pg. 132

Today's reading breaks down the fact that no matter how big we go globally (modem to modem as it says in the forward of the the 4Th edition) the core of our program comes down to one alcoholic sharing with another the great message of hope, love and strength that we bring to each other.  In sharing our brokenness, we can truly have another life that we could never have dreamed of.
