AA Thought for the Day

March 5, 2007

Self-will

Each of us has had his own near-fatal encounter
with the juggernaut of self-will,
and has suffered enough under its weight
to look for something better.
So it is by circumstance rather than by any virtue
that we have been driven to AA, have admitted defeat,
have acquired the rudiments of faith,
and now want to make a decision
to turn our will and our lives over to a Higher Power.

Thought to Ponder....

Maturity is the ability to make a decision
and follow through.
