If you have decided you want what we have
and are willing to go to any length to get it --
then you are ready to take certain steps.
At some of these we balked.
We thought we could find an easier, softer way.
But we could not.
With all the earnestness at our command,
we beg of you to be fearless and thorough
from the very start.
Some of us have tried to hold on to our old ideas
and the result was nil until we let go absolutely.
Remember that we deal with alcohol --
cunning, baffling, powerful!

Thought to Ponder....

Every recovery from alcoholism
began with one sober hour.
