AA Thought for the Day

Power to Change

If I drew a line between active alcoholism on one side
and life as God wants me to live it and has equipped me to on the other,
then I'm somewhere in the middle, striving toward the ideal.
If I allow my character defects to rule my life again and forget the AA program,
forget where the power to change for the better comes from,
I will, in the long run, inevitably drink again.

Thought to Ponder....

When I change the way I look at things, the things I look at change.
