THE GIFT OF BONDING
Relieve me of the bondage of self, that I may better do Thy willALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 63

Through the A.A. way of life, I have received the gift of bonding— with those who were there before me, with those who are there now, and with those yet to come. For this gracious gift from God, I am forever grateful.
