My thought for today is Hope. The dictionary defines hope as a belief in the possibility of a desirable future, combining desire for an outcome with expectation that it can realistically occur. When I came into recovery for my alcohol addiction, I was given hope that my future could be desirable without the use of alcohol or other drugs and I was offered the love of God as it manifested through the people I met. They offered me their love by sharing with me their experiences with their own alcoholic lives and how they received strength from their higher power, and the end result of that was the hope that maybe this could work for me too. It is why our preamble states that we are a fellowship of people who share our experience strength and hope with each other so that we may solve our common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism.
