AA Thought for the Day

April 26, 2002

Temptation

So our role is not to avoid a place
where there is drinking,
if we have a legitimate reason for being there.
That includes bars, nightclubs, dances,
receptions, weddings,
even plain ordinary whoopee parties.
To a person who has had experience with an alcoholic,
this may seem like tempting Providence,
but it isn't.

Thought to Ponder....

The name of the game is not so much to stop drinking
as to stay sober.
