AA Thought for the Day

Defects

Sometimes I've failed to share my defects with the right people;
at other times, I've confessed their defects, rather than my own;
and at still other times, my confession of defects has been more in the nature of
loud complaints about my circumstances and my problems.
Nevertheless, I think I've usually been able to make a fairly thorough
and searching job of finding and admitting my personal defects. . .
Long ago I was lucky enough to see that I'd have to keep up my self-analysis
or else blow my top completely.
- Bill W., June 1958.
