My thought for today is Listen To Learn. It's about remaining teachable. When I talk with a newcomer, if I listen to what they are saying, I will learn how to help them better with whatever they are going through. By listening to their fears, their anger, or their shreds of hope that they might be able to do these twelve steps, I will learn not only about them, but also about me and ultimately, as Bill W said to Doctor Bob all those years ago, I'm not here for you, I'm here for me. I just listen to what they have to say. By extending my hand to them, I am allowing myself the gift of sobriety.
