AA Thought for the Day

I began to feel like a clown juggling too many balls.
Each ball represented a problem
I was keeping up in the air.
My arms were weary
and I knew I couldn't keep on much longer,
but I was not about to give up.
My pride and ego wouldn't let me.
Bosses, judges, co-workers, lawyers, car notes,
bar tabs, loan sharks, utility payments, landlords,
my girlfriend, people I had double-crossed --
I looked to all these as the source of my problems,
while overlooking the most basic problem:
my drinking and myself.

Thought to Ponder....

When I change the way I look at things,
the things I look at change.
