“In his second AA meeting the still shaking newcomer asked the old timer to be his sponsor. The old timer agreed and advised him not to make any decisions without his consultation.
“At this point in your recovery your first thought will always be the wrong thought.”
Do whatever comes your way to do as well as you can. Think as little as possible about yourself. Think as much as possible about other people. Dwell on things that are interesting. Since you get more joy out of giving joy to others, you should put a good deal of thought into the happiness that you are able to give.
— Eleanor Roosevelt
Giving rather than getting will become the guiding principle.
