AA Thought for the Day

Harder Amends
Nevertheless, with a person we dislike, we take the bit in our teeth.
It is harder to go to an enemy than to a friend, but we find it much
more beneficial to us. We go to him in a helpful and forgiving spirit,
confessing our former ill feeling and expressing our regret.
Under no condition do we criticize such a person or argue.
- Alcoholics Anonymous, (Into Action) p. 77
Thought to Ponder
It is the highest form of self-respect to admit mistakes
and to make amends for them.

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