AA Thought for the Day

January 15, 2004

Survey

We should make an accurate
and really exhaustive survey of our past life
as it has affected other people.
In many instances, we shall find
that though the harm done others has not been great,
the emotional harm we have done ourselves has.
Very deep, sometimes forgotten,
emotional conflicts persist below the level
of consciousness.

Thought to Ponder....

If I want to be free as a butterfly,
I've got to get over having once been a worm.
