AA Thought for the Day

May 14, 2005

Anger

The hardest thing I had to deal with in sobriety
was my own anger and the violence I lived through
in my childhood.
I had forgiven those involved as best I could,
but the mind seems never to forget. . .
Despite the help of many professionals,
I know I would never have recovered from violence
and alcoholism without AA's Twelve Steps,
which are uniquely tailored for people like me.

Thought to Ponder....

Those who anger me, conquer me.
