AA Thought for the Day

Pride-blindness
We scarcely need be reminded that excessive guilt
or rebellion leads to spiritual poverty.
But it was a very long time before we knew
we could go even more broke on spiritual pride.
We early AA's got our first glimmer
of how spiritually prideful we could be,
We coined this expression:
"Don't get too damned good by Thursday!". . .
This is our AA way of warning against pride-blindness,
and the imaginary perfections that we do not possess.
- Bill W., June 1961.
Thought to Ponder....
Swallowing my pride will not get me drunk.
