AA Thought for the Day

April 4, 2005

Willingness

AA taught me that willingness to believe
was enough for a beginning.
It's been true in my case,
nor could I quarrel with "restore us to sanity,"
for my actions drunk or sober, before AA,
were not those of a sane person.
My desire to be honest with myself
made it necessary for me to realize
that my thinking was irrational.
It had to be, or I could not have justified
my erratic behavior as I did.
