AA Thought for the Day

Staying Flexible
During active alcoholism, many of us led pretty disorganized lives,
and the confusion often made us feel unsettled or even desperate.
Learning not to drink is facilitated, we have discovered, by introducing some order into each day --
but being realistic and keeping our plan flexible.
The rhythm of our own special routine has a soothing effect, and an apt principle around which to organize some orderliness is
-- yes, "First Things First."
- Living Sober, p. 32

Thought to Ponder . . .
Flexible people do not get bent out of shape.

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,
