AA Thought for the Day

July 17, 2006

Humanness

Why is it that the alcoholic is so unwilling
to accept responsibility?
I used to drink because of the things that other people
did to me.
Once I came to AA I was told to look
at where I had been wrong.
What did I have to do with all these different matters?
When I simply accepted that I had a part in them,
I was able to put it on paper and see it for what it was --
humanness.
I am not expected to be perfect!

Give me the courage to be imperfect.
