AA Thought for the Day

Footprints
Stepping into the first footprint that led from the dismal swamp of alcoholism toward the sunlight of sobriety
would not take me far enough. Would I muddle along on some little trail of my own in the weeds,
vaguely paralleling the clearly marked AA road?
Or would I choose to follow in the exact footsteps of the AA's who had preceded? The choice was up to me.
I could do either, but I had to cover the whole trail if I wanted to get where the others were.
Since I had already taken Step One, I could decide to stop right there. I could just dry up, period.
I could survive like a raisin the rest of my life.
- The Best of the Grapevine [Vol. 2], p. 136
Thought to Ponder . . .
Wisdom is knowing the right path to take. Integrity is taking it.
