AA Thought for the Day

June 7, 2002

Usefulness

I feel myself a useful member of the human race at last.
I have something to contribute to humanity,
since I am peculiarly qualified,
as a fellow-sufferer, to give aid and comfort
to those who have stumbled and fallen
over this business of meeting life.
I get my greatest thrill of accomplishment
from the knowledge that I have played a part
in the new happiness achieved by
countless others like myself.
The fact that I can work again and earn my living,
is important, but secondary.
I believe my once over-weening self-will
has found its proper place, for I can say many times daily,
"Thy will be done, not mine" . . .
and mean it.
