AA Thought for the Day

Pride Blindness
When we early AAs got our first glimmer of how spiritually prideful we could be,
we coined this expression: "Don't try to get too damned good by Thursday!"
That old-time admonition may look like another one of those handy alibis that
can excuse us from trying our best. Yet a closer view reveals just the contrary.
This is our AA way of warning against pride-blindness,
and the imaginary perfections we do not possess.
- The Language of the Heart, p. 255
Thought to Ponder
Swallowing my pride will not get me drunk.

Thanks to all of you for sharing so generously of your experience, strength and hope in carrying the AA message.
Grateful to serve,
