AA Thought for the Day

March 5, 2008

Decision

Even when I described myself as agnostic,
I thought maybe something was watching out for me.
My friend asked, "Isn't it about time you made a decision?"
I knew where to look in the Big Book, and had been careful to avoid it until then.
I turned to the Third Step Prayer and quietly read it to her over the phone.
Nothing happened. I didn't expect anything to happen.
Then, for some reason, I turned back to the words,
"No one among us has been able to maintain anything like perfect adherence
to these principles." They echoed in my mind.
Something happened. A barrier collapsed.
