Twenty-Four Hours A Day

A.A. Thought For The Day

I am less sensitive and my feelings are less easily hurt. I no longer
take myself so
seriously. It didn't use to take much to insult me, to feel that I had
been slighted or
left on the outside. What happens to me now is not so important. One
cause of our
drinking was because we couldn't take it, so we escaped the unpleasant
situation. We
have learned to take it on the chin if necessary and smile. When I am
all wrapped
up in A.A., I do not notice the personal slights so much. They do not
seem to matter so
much. I have learned to laugh at self-pity, because it's so childish. Am
I less sensitive?
