AA Thought for the Day

Pickles
We are convinced, after the countless attempts we made to prove otherwise, that alcoholism in incurable --
just like some other illnesses.   It cannot be "cured" in this sense:  We cannot change our body chemistry
and go back to being the normal, moderate social drinkers lots of us seemed to be in our youth.
As some of us put it, we can no more make that change than a pickle can change itself back into a cucumber.
- Living Sober, p. 8

Thanks to all of you for sharing so generously of your experience, strength and hope in carrying the AA message.
Blessings in sobriety to all,
In love and service,
