AA Thought for the Day

August 13, 2003

If

Alcoholism respects no ifs.
It does not go away, not for a week, for a day,
or even for an hour,
leaving us nonalcoholic and able to drink again
on some special occasion
or for some extraordinary reason --
not even if it is a once-in-a-lifetime celebration,
or if a big sorrow hits us, or if it rains in Spain
or the stars fall on Alabama.
Alcoholism is for us unconditional,
with no dispensations available at any price.

Thought to Ponder....

If it's not all going my way, then it must be going the right way.
