AA Thought for the Day

Sense of Relief
Pride says, “You need not pass this way,” and Fear says, “You dare not
look!” But the testimony of A.A.'s who have really tried a moral inventory
is that pride and fear of this sort turn out to be bogeymen, nothing else.
Once we have a complete willingness to take inventory, and exert ourselves
to do the job thoroughly, a wonderful light falls upon this foggy scene. As
we persist, a brand-new kind of confidence is born, and the sense of relief
at finally facing ourselves is indescribable.
