AA Thought for the Day

May 15, 2003

Humility

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....

Many people haven't even a nodding acquaintance with humility as a way of life.
