AA Thought for the Day

Dry Drunk
Perhaps, in the last analysis, a dry drunk is mostly a childish tantrum, an interval of immaturity,
a regression to those frantic days of self-will run riot.
Nevertheless, it can still be a perilous period for the alcoholic struggling for recovery.
I know that there have been dark days when a will greater than my own has been responsible for my sobriety.
- The Best of the Grapevine [Vol. 1], p. 20

Thought to Ponder . . .
Without change I am just a non-drinking drunk.

AA-related 'Alconym' . . .
A A = Attitude Adjustment.

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,
