AA Thought for the Day

February 23, 2004

Perfection

Only Step One,
where we made the 100% admission we were powerless
over alcohol,
can be practiced with absolute perfection.
The remaining eleven Steps state perfect ideals.
They are goals toward which we look,
and the measuring sticks
by which we estimate our progress. . .
The only urgent thing is that we make a beginning,
and keep trying. . .
We shall need to raise our eyes toward perfection,
and be ready to walk in that direction.

Thought to Ponder....

All of AA's suggestions are free.
The ones I don't take are the ones I end up paying for.
