AA Thought for the Day

June 7, 2006

Keep Trying

Only Step One, where we made the 100 percent admission
we were powerless over alcohol,
can be practiced with absolute perfection.
The remaining eleven Steps state perfect ideals.
They are goals toward which we look,
and the measuring sticks by which
we estimate our progress. . .
The only urgent thing is that we make a beginning,
and keep trying.

Thought to Ponder....

"I can't do it" never yet accomplished anything,
but "I'll try" has accomplished wonders.
