AA Thought for the Day
November 17, 2007
Fireworks
When we first go into AA we are firecrackers with short wicks
and when those short wicks get lighted with resentment or self-pity
or any of the things that cause us to go off on a tangent,
it doesn't take long before we explode.
The longer we go to meetings, the longer the wick becomes.
That may be why nothing happened when I almost had a little trouble. . .
I could see the trouble coming and was able to reach out
and snip the burning wick --
all because I had lots of AA meetings under my belt.
Thought to Ponder....
Meetings: a check-up from the neck up.
