AA Thoughts For The Day
~*~A.A. Thoughts For The Day~*~
^*^*^*^*^
Family Matters
Now and then the family will be plagued
by specters from the past,
for the drinking career of almost every alcoholic
has been marked by escapades, funny, humiliating,
shameful or tragic.
The first impulse will be to bury these skeletons
in a dark closet and padlock the door.
The family may be possessed by the idea
that future happiness can be based only upon
forgetfulness of the past.
We think that such a view is self-centered
and in direct conflict with the new way of living.
c. 2001AAWS, Alcoholics Anonymous, pp. 123-4
^*^*^*^*^
Thought to Consider . . .
The spiritual life is not a theory.
We have to live it.
