AA Thought for the Day

Virtues

We of AA are apt sometimes to brag
of the virtues of our fellowship.
Let us remember that none of these are earned virtues.
We have been forced into them, to begin with,
by the cruel lash of John Barleycorn.
We have adopted these attitudes, these practices,
this structure, not at first because we wished to
but because we had to.
- Bill W., July 1955.

Thought to Ponder....

Gratitude is the greatest of all virtues.
