AA Thought for the Day

June 21, 2002

Alternatives

If you are as seriously alcoholic as we were,
we believe there is no middle-of-the-road solution.
We were in a position where life was becoming impossible,
and if we had passed into the region
from which there is no return through human aid,
we had but two alternatives:
One was to go on to the bitter end,
blotting out the consciousness
of our intolerable situation as best we could;
and the other, to accept spiritual help.
This we did because we honestly wanted to,
and were willing to make the effort.

Thought to Ponder....

The solution is simple. The solution is spiritual.
