AA Thought for the Day

I must remember the frustrated guy who drank
because life was too dull -- the grass wasn't green enough
-- life was a trap.
I must remember the morose alcoholic
who destroyed friendship, trust, his capacity for work,
and finally his belief in his own worth.
I must remember him.
I must remember him because he is still very much part of me.
Yes, he has admitted he is powerless over alcohol,
and he has asked AA for help. So he is not drinking. . .
But the hostile attitudes that made him ill are not dead.
They are dormant; they lie, like a great bear hibernating . . .
I must, therefore, remember every day that drunk
who is part of me.
Today the grass was as green as grass gets. I was sober today.
My Higher Power will show me what to do next,
if I am able to let go.

Thought to Ponder....

Attitudes are contagious. Is yours worth catching?
