AA Thought for the Day

August 28, 2003

Airborne

AA has accomplished so many things in my life today.
It has given me my sanity
and an all-around sense of balance.
Now willing to listen and take suggestions,
I have found that the process of discovering who I am
begins with knowing who I really don't want to be.
And although the disease of alcoholism is like gravity,
just waiting to pull me down,
AA and the Twelve Steps
are like the power that causes an airplane
to become airborne:
It only works when the pilot is doing the right things
to make it work.
