AA Thought for the Day
(courtesy AA-Alive.net)
October 15, 2016
Insight
In one flash of insight I saw that if I were to wait for all the other people to shape up,
I was going to get drunk and stay drunk a long, long time.
In that instant I saw that all the things I had considered facts,
were not facts at all, but my own thoughts. And this was very fortunate,
because I could do something about changing my thoughts
but nothing about changing the people around me. So the fault was mine after all.
- The Best of the Grapevine [Vol. 1], p. 44
