AA Thought for the Day

September 28, 2003

Compatibility

AA has many single alcoholics
who wish to marry and are in a position to do so. . .
On the whole these marriages are very good ones. . .
It is only where "boy meets girl on AA campus,"
and love follows at first sight, that difficulties may develop.
The prospective partners need to be solid AA's
and long enough acquainted to know that their
compatibility at spiritual, mental,
an emotional levels is a fact and not wishful thinking.
They need to be as sure as possible
that no deep-lying emotional handicap in either
will be likely to rise up under later pressures to cripple them.
- Bill W.
