AA Thought for the Day

Housecleaning
Time after time newcomers have tried to keep to themselves
certain facts about their lives.
Trying to avoid this humbling experience, they have turned to easier methods.
Almost invariably they got drunk. Having persevered with the rest of the program,
they wondered why they fell.
We think the reason is that they never completed their housecleaning.
