AA Thought for the Day

March 14, 2006

Give-and-take

It became clear that if we were to feel
emotionally secure among grown-up people,
we would have to put our lives on a give-and-take basis;
we would have to develop the sense of being
in partnership or brotherhood with all those around us.
We saw that we would need to give constantly
of ourselves without demands for repayment.
When we persistently did this we gradually found
that people were attracted to us as never before.
