It is only at the moment when a member ceases to drink
that he asserts the right to
describe himself as an alcoholic...
What an unthinking world may look upon as defeat,
alcoholics in AA know as a triumph of the spirit,
a triumph of humility over false pride and self-centeredness.
How few human beings ever have the courage
to stand up before their neighbors and, in humility,
describing themselves truthfully, to say:
'This is what I really am.'

Thought to Ponder....

We surrender to win.
