AA Thought for the Day

I realized I'd been living outside myself for so long
I'd almost become a walking vacancy.
In my prized AA sobriety,
I was still running a kind of circus which had numerous,
highly believable posters plastered all over outside --
See the Spectacular Non-Drinking Person!
Watch How Movingly He Can Recite the Twelve Steps!
-- but which had nothing much going on inside the tent.
I've been working hard to shut that circus down ever since
with varying degrees of success.

Thought to Ponder....

Being a part of something is more important
than being the center of attention.
