AA Thought for the Day

September 26, 2004

Humility

We first reach for a little humility,
knowing that we shall perish of alcoholism if we do not.
After a time, though we may still rebel somewhat,
we commence to practice humility
because this is the right thing to do.
Then comes the day when,
finally freed in large degree from rebellion,
we practice humility
because we deeply want it as a way of life.

- Bill W., Letter, 1966.

Thought to Ponder....

Many people haven't even a nodding acquaintance
with humility as a way of life.
