AA Thought for the Day

August 26, 2002

Pause

As we go through the day we pause,
when agitated or doubtful,
and ask for the right thought or action.
We constantly remind ourselves we are no longer
running the show,
humbly saying to ourselves many times each day
"Thy will be done."
We are then in much less danger of excitement,
fear, anger, worry, self-pity, or foolish decisions.
We become much more efficient.
We do not tire so easily, for we are not
burning up energy foolishly as we did
when we were trying to arrange life to suit ourselves.
It works -- it really does.

Thought to Ponder....

We alcoholics are undisciplined.
So we let God discipline us . . .
