AA Thought for the Day

Housecleaning

Time after time newcomers have tried
to keep to themselves certain facts about their lives.
Trying to avoid this humbling experience,
they have turned to easier methods.
Almost invariably they got drunk.
Having persevered with the rest of the program,
they wondered why they fell.
We think the reason is
that they never completed their housecleaning.
