ONE A.A. MIRACLE
Recovery Einstein's Big Book perspective on the AA Daily Reflection for February 29.
The 'one A.A. miracle' is the transformation from a hopeless, powerless alcoholic into a sober, useful individual — something we once thought impossible. The Big Book promises this on page 84: 'We will suddenly realize that God is doing for us what we could not do for ourselves.' That’s the miracle: not just stopping drinking, but a complete psychic change. Each recovery, one at a time, is proof that the program works [Page 84]. And as Appendix II explains, 'the great fact is just this' — thousands have had this spiritual experience, and it’s available to any alcoholic who truly works the Steps [Pages 567-568]. For you, this theme means recognizing your own recovery as a miracle — and knowing that your story can spark the same miracle in someone else.
Where have you seen the 'one A.A. miracle' at work in your own life or in the life of another alcoholic lately?
Start each day with Einstein's Big Book perspective — a quiet moment before the world gets loud.
