The Gift Of Gratitude

This month’s featured section is “Neurodivergence in AA,” with powerful stories by AA members with autism, ADHD, dyslexia, social anxiety, and Down syndrome. We also include some wonderful gratitude and Thanksgiving stories.

Grapevine Daily Quote October 22

“This process of identification and transmission has gone on and on. The skid rower said he was different. Even more loudly the socialite (or Park Avenue stumble bum) said the same -- so did the arts and the professions, the rich, the poor, the religious, the agnostics, the Indians and the Eskimos, the veterans and the prisoners. But nowadays all of these, and legions more, soberly talk about how very much alike all of us alcoholics are when we all admit that the chips are finally down; when we see that it is really a question of do or die in our world wide Fellowship of ‘the comon suffering and the common deliverance.’”

AA Co-Founder, Bill W., July 1960, “AA Communication Can Cross All Barriers”, The Language of the Heart

On Thanksgiving, the turkey is the main event in my family household. When I was a boy, the art of carving the bird was passed on to me by my father.
