AA Thought for the Day

Authorities
Happily for us, we found we need no human authority whatever. We have two authorities which are far more effective.
One is benign, the other malign. There is God, our Father, who very simply says, "I am waiting for you to do my will."
The other authority is named John Barleycorn, and he says,
"You had better do God's will or I will kill you." And sometimes he does kill.
So when the chips are down, we conform to God's will or perish.
- Alcoholics Anonymous Comes of Age, p. 105
Thought to Ponder . . .
For us, it is do or die.
