AA Thought for the Day

Isolation
Isolation sneaks up on us. We can mask it with familiar props that are not in themselves bad. We can
isolate ourselves in an attempt to clean up our apartments (and then not do the cleaning); we can isolate
ourselves in churches or in sleep; we can use family, sweethearts, compulsive working, television.
The list is long. The nicest way to end it is the way you and I do: together.
Reach out -- people can't read your mind. Say ouch! Someone hears. Always.
