A.A. Thoughts For The Day:
Restraint
“Our first objective will be the development of self-restraint.
This carries a top priority rating.
When we speak or act hastily or rashly, the ability to be fair-minded and tolerant evaporates on the spot.
One unkind tirade or one willful snap judgment can ruin or relation with another person for a whole day, or maybe a whole year.
Nothing pays off like restraint of tongue and pen.”
