AA Thought for the Day

February 13, 2003

Personality Change

It has often been said of AA
that we are interested only in alcoholism.
That is not true.
We have to get over drinking in order to stay alive.
But anyone who knows the alcoholic personality
by firsthand contact knows
that no true alky ever stops drinking
without a profound personality change.
- Bill W., Letter, 1940.

Thought to Ponder....

Without change I am just a non-drinking drunk.
