AA Thought for the Day

July 2, 2003

Name of the Game

I have learned how to relate to people; before AA,
I could never do that comfortably without alcohol.
I have learned to deal with disappointment
and problems that once would have sent me
right to the bottle.
I have come to realize that the name of the game
is not so much to stop drinking
as to stay sober.
Alcoholics can stop drinking in many places
and many ways--
but Alcoholics Anonymous offers us
a way to stay sober.

Thought to Ponder....

Having a slip is not an option.
Staying sober is the solution.
