AA Thought for the Day

Martyrdom

Self-pity is one of the most unhappy
and consuming defects that we know.
It is a bar to all spiritual progress
and can cut off all effective communication
with our fellows because of its inordinate demands
for attention and sympathy.
It is a maudlin form of martyrdom,
which we can ill afford.
