Twenty-Four Hours A Day
A.A. Thought For The Day
We should remember that all A.A.'s have "clay feet." We should not
set any member upon a pedestal and mark her or him out as a perfect
A.A. Its not fair to the person to be singled out in this fashion
and if
the person is wise she or he will not wish it. If the person we
single
out as an ideal A.A. has a fall, we are in danger of falling, too.
Without
exception, we are all only one drink away from a drunk, no matter
how
long we have been in A.A. Nobody is entirely safe. A.A. itself
should
be our ideal, not any particular member of it. Am I putting my trust
in
A.A. principles and not in any one member of the group?
