AA Thought for the Day

Pictures

Wouldn't you rather recognize you have a health condition
which can be successfully treated,
than spend a lot of time miserably worrying about what's wrong with you?
We have found this is a better-looking, and better-feeling,
picture of ourselves than the old gloomy selves we used to see. . .
Anyone who wants it is welcome to a "free trial period"
of this new concept of self.
Afterward, anyone who wants the old days again
is perfectly free to start them all over.
It is your right to take back your misery if you want it.
On the other hand, you can also keep
the new picture of yourself, if you'd rather.
It, too, is yours by right.
