AA Thought for the Day

November 16, 2005

Getting Better

Following this spiritual path
has made a major difference in my life.
It seemed to fill up that lonely hole
that I used to fill with alcohol.
My self-esteem improved dramatically,
and I knew happiness and serenity
as I had never known before.
I started to see the beauty and usefulness
in my own existence . . .
It wasn't easy, and it has never been easy,
but it gets so much better.

Thought to Ponder....

There is only one corner of the universe
I can be certain of improving,
and that's my own self.
