AA Thought for the Day

The First One
If we do not take the first drink, we never get drunk.  Therefore, instead of planning to never get drunk,
or trying to limit the number of drinks or the amount of alcohol,
we have learned to concentrate on avoiding only one drink: the first one.
- Living Sober, p. 5

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,
