AA Thought for the Day

Depression

During acute depression,
avoid trying to set your whole life in order all at once.
If you take on assignments so heavy
that you are sure to fail in them . . .
then you are allowing yourself to be tricked
by your unconscious. . .
In short, the 'all or nothing' attitude
is a most destructive one.
