If we feel the need of saying something to put another member on the right track, we should try to say it with understanding and sympathy, not with a critical attitude.WE should keep everything out in the open and above - board. The AA program is wonderful, but we must really follow it. We must all pull together or we'll all be sunk. We enjoy the privilege of being associated with AA.and we are entitled to all its benefits. But gossip and criticism are not tolerance ,and tolerance is an AA principle that is absolutely necessary to group unity.Am I truly tolerant of all my groups members?

Morning, I am still so amazed how on a lot of days the daily reader , seems to have the ability to read minds and helps remedy the conflicts that have arisen. Very positive !!!

Do you know Billy, that spooks me to. I find the same thing with Hazelden....HP is watching lol

Thank you for the reminder. I need to remember to stay out of things that don't concern me even if I think I am being supportive.

I do feel that I am tolerant, it is patience and respect I need to work on.

Sometimes easy to forget what a privilege it is to be in Alcoholics Anonymous instead of the alternative, even for folks who have been around for awhile.

That reading is a good way for all of us to right size ourselves.

Thanks Oki
