AA Thought for the Day

February 11, 2007

Sharing

Since I have been sober,
I have been healed of many pains:
deceiving my partner, deserting my best friend,
and spoiling my mother's hopes for my life.
In each case someone in the program told me of a similar problem,
and I was able to share what happened to me.
When my story was told,
both of us got up with lighter hearts.

Thought to Ponder....

The ankle-biters of everyday struggles will eat away at me
unless I go to meetings and share.
