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

October 29, 2013

Self-restraint
This carries a top priority rating.  When we 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, p. 91

Thought to Ponder . . .
Anger is the wind that blows out the light of reason.

AA-related 'Alconym' . . .
P U T = Patience, Understanding, Tolerance.


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,
