Fri. For Today

november 25th, All who joy would win Must share it. Happiness was born a twin. Lord Byron From my first day of abstinence, I discovered the truth of the saying, "I can't keep what I have unless I give it away." What joy there is in telling an OA newcomer or friend or sponsor of the miralces that have come about in my life thanks to OA. I never get tired of sharing "what I was like, what happened and what I'm like now." Even when I have someting troubling me that I intend to discuss, I am aware of the gratitued in my heart and I want to express it. Remembering the joy this program has brought me is enough to lift my spirit; sharing that with someone brings the joy back to me. For today: Here's a good OA pick-me-up: Call some OAs, including at least one newcomer and one person I have never called before; give them a nutshell version of why I am so thankful to be in OA, and then tell all of them how glad I am to have them as fellow members.
