AA Thought for the Day

We can get so stridently concerned about me-me-me
that we lose touch with virtually everyone else.
It's not easy to put up with anyone who acts that way,
except a sick infant.
So when we get into the poor-me bog, we try to hide it,
particularly from ourselves.
But that's no way to get out of it.
Instead, we need to pull out of our self-absorption, stand back,
and take a good, honest look at ourselves.
Once we recognize self-pity for what it is,
we can start to do something about it other than drink.

Thought to Ponder....

Self-pity is followed by isolation is followed by a drink.
