AA Thought for the Day

Building an Arch

Have I, as the Big Book predicted, finished building that arch
through which I shall walk a free man? Frankly, no.
I'm still not entirely free of admitting I'm wrong.
But I'm better than I was, I have improved, I'm freer.
Perhaps the quality of my sobriety is not all it should be.
But my lowest quality sobriety is better thank my highest quality drunk.
And the Steps have given me uninterrupted sobriety,
to my daily and, I hope, continual gratitude.

Thought to Ponder....

Situations I fear are rarely as bad as the fear itself.
