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

October 9, 2015

Baggage
I have more than enough to handle today, without dragging along yesterday's baggage too.
I must balance today's books, if I am to have a chance tomorrow.
So I ask myself if I have erred and how can I avoid repeating that particular behavior.
Did I hurt anyone, did I help anyone, and why?
Some of today is bound to spill over into tomorrow, but most of it need not if I make an honest daily inventory.
- Daily Reflections, p. 287

Thought to Ponder . . .
Inventory-taking is not always done in red ink.

AA-related 'Alconym' . . .
B A T H = Behavior, Attitude, Thinking, Habits.

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,
