Ceramic Camels (4-1/2" x 6")

These cool camels will thrill any decorator. Besides providing an interesting and cool decor the camel is a subtle reminder of the AA Program and our daily commitment to sobriety through prayer and communications with our Higher Power!

Dr Bob’s Story of the AA Camel

Dr Bob, physician and a cofounder of Alcoholics Anonymous, would explain prayer by telling how the camels in a caravan would kneel down in the evening and the men would unload their burdens. In the morning, they would kneel down again and the men would put their burdens back on.

“It’s the same with prayer. We get on our knees to unload at night and in the morning when we get on our knees again. God gives us just the load we are able to carry for that day."

The Alcoholics Anonymous Camel symbol:

The camel each day goes twice to his knees.
He picks up his load with the greatest of ease.
He walks through the day with his head held high.
And stays for that day, completely dry.

Camel Prayer:

"The tasks of the day can pass with ease
when a camel or I start on our knees.
One Master we serve, the camel and I,
and stay for that day completely dry."
