| The Serenity Prayer |
Wednesday, Jan. 21, 2015
Next to the God-inspired Program itself, we should be most thankful to our founders that they have resisted the pressure of various "movements" to ally themselves to us.
Reform movements are often only against something, but AA is always FOR something. We do not resist evil but strive to overcome evil with good. Their forces are negative; ours positive.
Their machines stand idle while they strive to eliminate friction; ours run on power sufficient to overcome the friction, and the source of our power is infinite.
They say everything bad should be eliminated; we say everything bad is an opportunity, sent to us from God, that we may transform it to Good.
