AA Thought for the Day

March 17, 2004

Honesty

Rarely have we seen a person fail
who has thoroughly followed our path.
Those who do not recover are people who
cannot or will not completely give themselves
to this simple program,
usually men and women who are constitutionally incapable
of being honest with themselves.
There are such unfortunates.
They are not at fault; they seem to have been born that way.
They are naturally incapable of grasping
and developing a manner of living
which demands rigorous honesty.
