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

Martyrdom

"Self-pity is one of the most unhappy and
consuming defects that we know.
It is a bar to all spiritual progress
and can cut off all effective communication
with our fellows
because of its inordinate demands
for attention and sympathy.
It is a maudlin form of martyrdom,
which we can ill afford."

Bill W., Letter, 1966
As Bill Sees It, p. 238

Thought to Consider . . .

I can't have a better tomorrow
if I am thinking about yesterday all the time.

wow, I've never seen the 'poor me/pour me' put together like that
that is so true. I somehow missed these yesterday...with a flat tire and a window glass about to fall out of my car and an ear infection, I think I lost a day, lol.
