Dr. Twerski's Sober Thought - October

Are You Open to New Ideas?

If we were to reckon what new knowledge we acquired each day, we might discover we learned nothing new. Why? Because we feel we already know enough. But, "a fool is better off than someone who considers himself wise," states Proverbs 26:12. Someone who thinks himself wise will never learn anything. People with years of quality sobriety state, "There has never been a meeting at which I didn't gain something." People who abandon the program say, "There was no point in going. It was the same thing over and over again." The former are open to learning, the latter are not.
