AA Thought for the Day

July 9, 2004

A Lesson

I spent most of my life worrying about myself,
thinking that I was unwanted, that I was unloved.
I've learned since being in AA that the more I worry
about me loving you,
the less I worry about you loving me, the happier I'll be. . .
I learned how to be a friend.
I learned how to go out and help other people --
there was nowhere else I could have done that.
I have learned that the more I give, the more I will have;
the more I learn to give, the more I learn to live.
