AA Thought for the Day

June 25, 2002

Action

Then they outlined the spiritual answer
and program of action which a hundred of them
had followed successfully.
Though I had been only a nominal churchman,
their proposals were not, intellectually, hard to swallow.
But the program of action, though entirely sensible,
was pretty drastic.
It meant I would have to throw several lifelong conceptions
out of the window.
That was not easy.
But the moment I made up my mind to go through
with the process,
I had the curious feeling that my alcoholic condition was relieved,
as in fact it proved to be.
