PRINCIPLES, NOT PERSONALITIES

Daily reflections - DECEMBER 22

The way our "worthy" alcoholics have sometimes tried to judge the "less worthy" is, as we look back on it, rather comical.   Imagine,   if   you   can,   one  alcoholic   judging another! THE LANGUAGE OF THE HEART, p. 37

Who am I to judge anyone? When I first entered the Fellowship I found that I liked everyone. After all, A.A. was  going  to  help  me  to  a  better  way  of  life  without alcohol. The reality was that I couldn't possibly like everyone, nor they me. As I've grown in the Fellowship, I've learned to love everyone just from listening to what they had to say. That person over there, or the one right here,  may be  the  one  God  has  chosen  to  give  me  the message I need for today. I must always remember to place principles above personalities.
