AA Thought for the Day
(courtesy AA-Alive.net)

October 5, 2015

Cured?
I was cured.  Three years later, I found that there is no cure.  I had forgotten I am an alcoholic. . .
I've learned once more that the decision as to whether I lead a life of repeated wrong steps
and steady declination of reputation and character,
or a life whereby I gain respect from others and consequently regain my own self-respect,
boils down to the one choice: whether or not I take that first drink.
- Thank You For Sharing, pp. 42-43

Thought to Ponder . . .
The first drink has the last say.

AA-related 'Alconym' . . .
A A = Always Aware.

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,
