AA Thought for the Day

August 13, 2002

Humility

An improved perception of humility starts another
revolutionary change in our outlook.
Our eyes begin to open to the immense values
which have come straight out of
painful ego-puncturing.
Until now, our lives have been largely devoted
to running from pain and problems.
We fled from them as from a plague.
We never wanted to deal with the fact of suffering.
Escape via the bottle was always our solution.
