AA Thought for the Day

November 23, 2007

Today

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.
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.
