AA Thought for the Day

October 11, 2006

Tailor-made

The hardest things I had to deal with in sobriety
was my own anger and the violence I lived through
in my childhood.
I had forgiven those involved as best I could,
but the mind never seems to forget.
I had gratefully received years of outside help
because I was told that my drinking was only a symptom
of deeper troubles.
Yet despite the help of many professionals,
I know I would never have recovered from violence
and alcoholism without AA's Twelve Steps,
which are uniquely tailored for people like me.

Thought to Ponder....

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