AA Thought for the Day

Mental Poison
Mental poison is just as dangerous as whiskey
and very frequently the prelude to a drinking bout. . .
As I stay sober, I've come to prize my peace of mind and serenity above all else.
I dread scenes, I dislike contentious subjects,
and I even shun arguments that begin to show the slightest trace of acrimony.
For, although I'm sober, I know full well I'm only one drink away
from possible insanity.
And the surest way to get there is to cultivate such bedmates
as resentment and self-pity.
Thought to Ponder....
Resentment is like taking poison and waiting for the other person to die.
