AA Thought for the Day

Defects

My self-analysis has frequently been faulty.
Sometimes I've failed to share my defects
with the right people;
at other times, I've confessed their defects.
So far as I know, there isn't at this moment
a single defect or current problem of mine
which hasn't been discussed with my close advisers.
Yet this pretty well-ventilated condition
is nothing for self-congratulation.
Long ago I was lucky enough to see
that I'd have to keep up my self-analysis
or else blow my top completely.
- Bill W., June 1958.

Thought to Ponder....

I can't start doing what's right
until I stop doing what's wrong.
