Good morning. My thought for today is Envy. According to the dictionary, envy is an unpleasant emotion characterized by discontent, resentment, or longing aroused by someone else’s qualities, achievements, possessions, or perceived advantages. Simply put, I want what you have and I am angry because you have it and I don't. In AA literature it says, "If you have decided you want we have and are willing to go to any length to get it, then you are ready to take certain steps." It's almost an encouragement to be envious. But, it gives you the answer, it tells you what to do. If you want the sobriety time that I or others like me have, you'll have to put in the time, that's how we did it. If you want the connection to God that I or others like me have, you'll have to put in the work, do the steps. That's how we did it.
