AA thoughts for the day,
booby traps.
We must avoid quick-tempered criticism and furious, power-driven argument.
The same goes for sulking and silent scorn.
These are emotional booby traps baited with pride and vengefulness.
Our first job is to sidestep the traps.
When we are tempted by the bait, we should train ourselves to step back and think.
For we can neither think nor act to good purpose until the habit of self-restraint has become automatic.
12 Steps and 12 Traditions, page 91.
Thought to consider, nothing pays off like restraint of tongue and pen.
AA acronyms, bath, behavior, attitude, thinking, habits.
Just for today, greatest possession from the family afterward.
This painful past may be of infinite value to other families still struggling with their problem.
We think each family which has been relieved owes something to those who have not, and when the occasion requires, each member of it should be only too willing to bring former mistakes, no matter how grievous, out of their hiding places.
Showing others who suffer how we were given help is the very thing which makes life seem so worthwhile to us now.
Cling to the thought that, in God's hands, the dark past is the greatest possession you have, the key to life and happiness for others.
With it, you can avert death and misery for them.
