AA Thought for the Day

August 16, 2003

Anger

With the alcoholic,
whose hope is the maintenance and growth
of a spiritual experience,
this business of resentment is infinitely grave.
We found that it is fatal.
For when harboring such feelings
we shut ourselves off from the sunlight of the Spirit.
The insanity of alcohol returns and we drink again.
And with us, to drink is to die.
If we were to live, we had to be free of anger.

Thought to Ponder....

Those who anger me, conquer me.
