AA Thought for the Day

June 25, 2007

Guarantee

I realize that all I'm guaranteed in life is today.
The poorest person has no less and the wealthiest has no more
-- each of us has but one day.
What we do with it is our own business, how we use it is up to us individually.
I feel that I have been restored to health and sanity these past years
not through my own efforts nor as a result of anything I may have done,
but because I've come to believe -- to really believe --
that I alone can do nothing.
That my own innate selfishness and stubbornness are the evils which,
if left unguarded, can drive me to alcohol.

Thought to Ponder....

What are you coming to believe? Belief is a continuing action.
