AA Thought for the Day

Humility
"Perpetual quietness of heart. It is to have no trouble.
It is never to be fretted or vexed, irritable or sore;
to wonder at nothing that is done to me, to feel nothing done against me.
It is to be at rest when nobody praises me, and when I am blamed or despised,
it is to have a blessed home in myself where I can go in and shut the door
and kneel to my Father in secret and be at peace, as in a deep sea of calmness,
when all around and about is seeming trouble."

- Dr. Bob and the Good Oldtimers, p. 222

AA-related 'Alconym' . . .

Blessings in sobriety to all,
In love and service,
