AA Thought for the Day

Spats and Snits

Within AA, I suppose, we shall always quarrel a good bit.
Mostly, I think, about how to do the greatest good
for the greatest number of drunks.
We shall have our childish spats and snits
over small questions of money management
and who is going to run our groups for the next six months.
Any bunch of growing children
(and that is what we are)
would hardly be in character if they did less. . .
Surmounting such problems, in AA's rather rugged
school of life, is a healthy exercise.

Thought to Ponder....

Our differences, not our similarities,
enable us to learn and grow.
