~A.A. Thoughts For The Day~^*^*^*^*^(\  ~~~  /)(    \(AA)/    )(_ /AA\ _)/AA\^*^*^*^*^Open Mind "To get sober and to stay sober, all you really need is a truly open mind. Just resign from the debating society and quit bothering yourself with such deep questions as whether it was the hen or the egg that came first. Again I say, all you need is the open mind."Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, p. 26 Thought to Consider . . .

Each month a clipping service feeds our Headquarters scrapbooks with a very large amount of material. Writers constantly ask Headquarters to check their manuscripts. A.A. members are helped to appear anonymously on radio and TV programs. The making of arrangements for publicity has become a constantly increasing activity of our A.A. office. How many lives have been saved, how many years of misery have thus been averted for thousands of alcoholics and their families, only God knows."2001 AAWS, Inc.Alcoholics Anonymous Comes of Age, pgs. 206-07 *^Daily Reflections^*ACCEPTING OUR HUMANNESS We finally saw that the inventory should be ours, not the other man's.  So we admitted our wrongs honestly and became willing to set these matters straight. AS BILL SEES IT, p.  222 Why is it that the alcoholic is so unwilling to accept responsibility?  I used to drink because of the things that other people did to me.  Once I came to A.A. I was told to look at where I had been wrong.  What did I have to do with all these different matters?  When I simply accepted that I had a part in them, I was able to put it on paper and see it for what it was
