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

Thought to Ponder . . .
I can’t fix something if I don’t know what’s wrong.

AA-related 'Alconym' . . .
A A = Attitude Adjustment.


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,
