AA Thought for the Day

Unreasonable Demands
We can try to stop making unreasonable demands upon those we love.
We can show kindness where we had shown none.
With those we dislike we can begin to practice justice and courtesy,
perhaps going out of our way to understand and help them.
Whenever we fail any of these people, we can promptly admit it—to ourselves always,
and to them also, when the admission would be helpful.
- Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, p. 93
Thought to Ponder . . .
The first step in overcoming mistakes is to admit them.

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,
