AA Thought for the Day

May 18, 2002

Tolerance

We have entered the world of the Spirit.
Our next function is to grow in understanding
and effectiveness.
This is not an overnight matter.
It should continue for our lifetime.
Continue to watch for selfishness, dishonesty,
resentment, and fear.
When these crop up, we ask God at once to remove them.
We discuss them with someone immediately
and make amends quickly if we have harmed anyone.
Then we resolutely turn our thoughts
to someone we can help.
Love and tolerance of others is our code.

Thought to Ponder....

Honesty gets us sober, tolerance keeps us sober.
