Action




In shame and despair, I went to my first AA meeting.
By some minor miracle, I was able to suspend opinion, analysis, judgment, and criticism, and instead to listen and hear.
I heard someone say that AA works for those who work for it, those who put action into the program. . .
I heard that I should forget about yesterday and tomorrow and instead
concentrate on today and staying away from the first drink today -- now.
I tried it, and it worked.
The first step in the process of "coming to believe" had been taken.
-- Came To Believe . . ., p. 42

Learn to listen; listen to learn.

J F T = Just For Today.



We cannot change the directions of the wind, but we can adjust our sails.
Have a beautiful day unless you plan otherwise. ... B-)
