AA Thought for the Day
(courtesy AA-Alive.net)
July 19, 2013
Honesty
I always thought honesty had something to do with telling other people the truth.
I spent most of my life worrying about myself,
thinking that I was unwanted, unloved.
I've learned since being in AA that the more I worry about me loving you,
and the less I worry about you loving me, the happier I will be. . .
I have learned that the more I give, the more I will have;
the more I learn to give, the more I learn to live.
- Experience, Strength and Hope, p. 218
Thought to Ponder . . .
Bless them; change me.
AA-related 'Alconym' . . .
A R T = Always Remain Teachable.
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,
