AA Thought for the Day
September 23, 2006
Action
In shame and despair, I went to my first AA meeting.
By some minor miracle,
I was able to suspend opinion, analysis, judgment,
and criticism, and instead to listen and hear.
I heard someone say that AA works for those who work for it,
those who put action into the program.
For me, at that time, action consisted of showing up
at an AA meeting and following the suggestions I heard.
I heard that I should forget about yesterday and tomorrow
and instead concentrate on today
and staying away from the first drink today -- now.
I tried it, and it worked.
