Improvement - June 29th
Change yourself and fortune will change with you.
~ Portugese Proverb
A.A. Thought for the Day
The program of Alcoholics Anonymous involves a continuous striving for improvement. There can be no long resting period. We must try to work at it all the time. We must continually keep in mind that it is a program not to be measured in years, because we never fully reach our goals nor are we ever cured. Our alcoholism is only kept in abeyance by daily living of the program. It is a timeless program in every sense. We live it day by day, or more precisely, moment by moment - now. Am I always striving for improvement?
Change didn't come suddenly - though I was impatient for improvement. Don't drink and go to meetings. How I hated that expression....but it is correct. Improvement occurs slowly and the more time I stuck with winners the faster the pace of improvement.
