AA Thought for the Day

Imperious Urge

To sum up about sex:
We earnestly pray for the right ideal,
for guidance in each questionable situation,
for sanity, and for the strength to do the right thing.
If sex is very troublesome,
we throw ourselves the harder into helping others.
We think of their needs and work for them.
This takes us out of ourselves.
It quiets the imperious urge,
when to yield would mean heartache.

Thought to Ponder....

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