My thought for today is Carry the Message. It is the suggestion made in Step Twelve. I can do that when I tell my story to others, either by speaking at a meeting or even by sharing at a discussion meeting. I carry the message through sponsorship. I carry the message by doing service work and service work in AA is anything that helps to make a 12th step possible. It is all connected. I wondered in the beginning what "the message" was. It states that in the twelfth step. If I do the first eleven steps, I will get a spiritual awakening. I can get it suddenly or I can get the educational kind that happens over time. But, I will get it. Recovery in AA involves establishing a relationship with God. Considering the way my life had been before I recovered, why would I not want a relationship with God. The simplest message I have carried is that if I can do it, you can do it.
