AA Thought for the Day
January 3, 2007
Dependency
If we examine every disturbance we have, great or small,
we will find at the root of it
some unhealthy dependency and its consequent
unhealthy demand.
Let us, with God's help, continually surrender
these hobbling demands . . .
Of course I haven't offered you a really new idea --
only a gimmick that has started to unhook several
of my own "hexes" at depth.
Nowadays my brain no longer races compulsively
in either elation, grandiosity, or depression.
I have been given a quiet place in bright sunshine.
- Bill W., January 1958.
Thought to Ponder....
Surrender as much of yourself as you understand
to as much of God as you understand.
