AA Thought for the Day

April 29, 2004

Selfish

Being selfish in AA
also means taking a look at our environment,
and the people we associate with.
We no longer want to be argumentative and full of self-pity. . .
It is time-consuming, it is destructive,
it could lead to "stinking thinking."
It is not the way we want to live any more,
and we do something constructive about it.
We become imbued each new day with vigor and hope . . .
and most important, we receive the greatest gift of all,
peace of mind.
It is simple, it is selfish, it is AA, and it works wonders.
