Thought For The Day (TFTD) is a daily devotional published by Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), designed to guide members toward spiritual growth and recovery from alcoholism. TFTD articles are written by anonymous AA members and are based on the principles of Alcoholics Anonymous’ 12 Steps and Twelfth Traditions.
The primary focus of TFTD is to help members understand that their thoughts and actions have a ripple effect on themselves and others. By reflecting on their thoughts and emotions, members can identify and acknowledge their own faults and areas in need of improvement. This self-awareness allows for the opportunity to make amends and seek forgiveness from those they may have wronged.
The TFTD also encourages members to cultivate a sense of gratitude and appreciation for the support and guidance they receive from others in recovery. This appreciation can foster a deeper sense of belonging to the AA community and help members to create positive, supportive relationships with others.
In addition to helping members navigate their personal struggles, TFTD provides members with tools and techniques to manage stress, find meaning and purpose in their lives, and maintain abstinence from alcohol. By focusing on spiritual growth and recovery, TFTD contributes to the overall well-being and happiness of AA members.
