“The key to winning is poise under stress.”
A.A. Thought for the Day
If you can take your troubles as they come, if you can maintain your calm and composure amid pressing duties and unending engagements, if you can rise above the distressing and disturbing circumstances in which you are set down, you have discovered a priceless secret of daily living. Even if you are forced to go through life weighed down by some inescapable misfortune or handicap and yet live each day as it comes with poise and peace of mind, you have succeeded where most people have failed. You have wrought a greater achievement than a person who rules a nation. Have I achieved poise and peace of mind?
“Stick with the winners” is something we all hear in recovery – especially early in the program. To my thinking winners are those of us who meet with personal tragedy and yet continue to support and encourage their fellow AA members.
