~*~A.A. Thoughts For The Day~*~
^*^*^*^*^
Change

How many of us would presume to declare,
"Well, I'm sober, and I'm happy.
What more can I want, or do?
I'm fine the way I am."
We know that the price of such self-satisfaction
is an inevitable backslide,
punctuated at some point by a very rude awakening.
We have to grow or else deteriorate.
For us, the status quo can only be for today,
never for tomorrow.
Change we must; we cannot stand still.

Bill W., April 1961
c. 1967 AAWS, As Bill Sees It,Â p. 25

Thought to Consider . . .
Backsliding begins when knee-bending stops.
