AA Thought for the Day

August 23, 2006

Unloved

I spent most of my life worrying about myself,
thinking that I was unwanted, that I was unloved.
I've learned since being in AA
that the more I worry about me loving you,
and the less I worry about you loving me,
the happier I'll be. . .
I have learned that the more I give,
the more I will have; the more I learn to give,
the more I learn to live.

Thought to Ponder....

We're not living just to be sober;
we are living to learn, to serve, and to love.
