AA Thought for the Day

September 10, 2003

Independent

Over and over, we have found we cannot stay sober long
just for the sake of wife, husband, children, lover, parents,
other relative, or friend, nor for the sake of a job,
nor to please a boss (or doctor or judge or creditor)
-- not for anyone other than ourselves. . .
Independent, unaffiliated with anything else,
our sobriety can grow strong enough
to enable us to cope with anything -- and everybody.
And, as you'll see, we start liking that feeling too.
