I know now that what is involved
in taking the AA program entire,
as the early AA's gave it to us,
is not the prospect of turning into some sort of
repulsive goody-goody.
It's the threat of being truly alive, aware,
and even perhaps ecstatic.
I'm coming to believe that if I do not accept all
of what this program offers (demands?),
but instead walk away from it
as somehow more than I bargained for,
I might get drunk.
In other words, if I do not take AA's Twelve Steps
seriously and in full,
I cannot expect to be "on the program."

Thought to Ponder....

The Program was a dazzling gem being dangled before my eyes.
