The alcoholic is like a tornado
roaring his way through the lives of others.
Hearts are broken. Sweet relationships are dead.
Affections have been uprooted.
Selfish and inconsiderate habits
have kept the home in turmoil.
We feel a man is unthinking
when he says that sobriety is enough.
He is like the farmer who came up out of his cyclone cellar
to find his home ruined.
To his wife, he remarked,
"Don't see anything the matter here, Ma.
Ain't it grand the wind stopped blowin'?"
There is only one corner of the universe
you can be certain of improving,
and that's your own self.
N U T S = Not Using The Steps.
