AA Thought for the Day

Egomania

I am a firm believer in both guidance and prayer.
But I am fully aware, and humble enough, I hope,
to see there may be nothing infallible about my guidance.
The minute I figure I have got a perfectly clear
pipeline to God,
I have become egotistical enough to get into real trouble.
Nobody can cause more needless grief
than a power-driver who thinks he has got it
straight from God.
- Bill W., Letter 1950.

Thought to Ponder....

The smallest package in the world is an alcoholic
all wrapped up in himself.
