AA Thought for the Day
(courtesy AAOnline.net)


December 18, 2004


Depression


During acute depression,
avoid trying to set your whole life in order all at once.
If you take on assignments so heavy
that you are sure to fail in them . . .
then you are allowing yourself to be tricked
by your unconscious. . .
In short, the 'all or nothing' attitude
is a most destructive one.
-Bill W., Letter, 1960
c. 1967 AAWS, As Bill Sees It, p.308

Thought to Ponder . . .


Once we clear a hurdle, it doesn't seem so high.

Yup. Been there--done that. :) And what does moderation mean anyway."?

Well-moderation is taking three quarters of a pumpin pie, that was left over from the weekend--and eating it all up within 15 minutes--now of course-Thats in moderation. One forkful at a time.--then again--that might be rationalizing what has really happenned---and might explain why one has gained 10 lbs in 2 weeks, then again-there could be denial involved and ooooooo ----Its NAP time. Wele analyze this later over ice cream and chocolate syrup.later.


Gotta go to a meeting also, so I dont start thinking, one is all alone.

Straight Jacket?? DW? nawwww Its just the 2 brain cells are froze. And sometimers is settin in. And Im starting to ask my cat if he wishes to go out to dinner. And hes answering "No" Its Ok. You can share my can of whatever you bought for me, and wele add gravy.

Later!!! I hafta go surrender-(Smile)
