AA Thought for the Day

Defects

I believe that through the first six Steps
I have gained some knowledge of my character defects
and that I know (at least in part and at times) what I need to get rid of.
It is certainly no problem for me to humbly ask my Higher Power
to remove them, either.
I never did know what to do with them before.
Besides, my pride is the only thing I can swallow that is nonfattening.
In fact, this diet seems to reduce the ego and eliminate fatheads --
mine, anyhow.
Step Seven simple? Not on your ego!

Thought to Ponder....

Swallowing my pride will not get me drunk.
