AA Thought for the Day
(courtesy AA-Alive.net)
July 1, 2022
Self-Restraint
Our first objective will be the development of self-restraint.
This carries a top priority rating. When we speak or act hastily
or rashly, the ability to be fair-minded and tolerant evaporates
on the spot. One unkind tirade or one willful snap judgment can
ruin our relation with another person for a whole day, or maybe
a whole year. Nothing pays off like restraint of tongue and pen.
- Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, (Step Ten) p. 91
Thought to Ponder
Love and tolerance of others is our code.

Thanks to all of you for sharing so generously of your experience, strength and hope in carrying the AA message.
Grateful to serve,
