AA Thought for the Day
(courtesy AA-Alive.net)

August 13, 2015

Relationships
The moment we ponder a twisted or broken relationship with another person, our emotions go on the defensive.
To escape looking at the wrongs we have done another, we resentfully focus on the wrong he has done us. . .
Right here we need to fetch ourselves up sharply.
It doesn't make much sense when a tosspot calls a kettle black.
Let's remember that alcoholics are not the only ones bedeviled by sick emotions.
~ Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, p. 78

Thought to Ponder . . .
To be forgiven we must forgive.

AA-related 'Alconym' . . .
A A = Attitude Adjustment.

Thanks to all of you for sharing so generously of your experience, strength and hope in carrying the AA message.
Blessings in sobriety to all,
In love and service,
