Reverse Your Shortcomings

AA Thought for Today
You worry a lot about your past defects. Don't, please, thrash around too long in guilt. Learn what you can from past negative experiences, and move on. Guilt is insidious and counterproductive. You are a perfect child of God. It shines through in your sobriety. I see it, and so do others. Make yourself see it. . .No need to feel guilt; simply get rid of the thing you feel guilty about. A wonderful way to do this is to reverse your shortcomings by reaching out to another drunk. It works.
