Alcohol, now become the rapacious creditor,
bleeds us of all self-sufficiency
and all will to resist its demands.
Once this stark fact is accepted,
our bankruptcy as going human concerns is complete.
But upon entering AA we soon take another view
of this absolute humiliation.
We perceive that only through utter defeat
are we able to take our first steps
toward liberation and strength.

Thought to Ponder....

If I have the courage to begin, I have the courage to succeed.
