AA Thought for the Day

October 19, 2015

Expectations
Until I could honestly look at myself and see that I was the problem in many situations
and react appropriately inside and out;
until I could discard my expectations and understand that my serenity was directly proportional to them,
I could not experience serenity and sound sobriety.
- Daily Reflections, p. 71

Thought to Ponder . . .
My disappointments are equal to my expectations.

AA-related 'Alconym' . . .

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,
