AA Thought for the Day
March 23, 2009
Trading
I traded dependence on puny self for dependence on God.
I traded resentment for understanding, fear for trust, selfishness for love.
I traded dissatisfaction for hope, dishonesty for truth.
I traded retaliation for amendment, taking for giving.
I traded sectarian bigotry for tolerance.
Sobriety has become for me an all-inclusive term.
It means everything from not taking the first drink
to enjoying the present twenty-four hours.
Thought to Ponder....
When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.
