AA Thought for the Day

September 7, 2003

Entanglements

Tying our sobriety to someone
we are emotionally involved with proves flatly disastrous.
We have to stay sober for ourselves,
no matter what other people do or fail to do.
We should remember, too, that intense dislike
also is an emotional entanglement,
often a reversal of past love.
We need to cool any overboard feeling,
lest it flip us back into the drink.

Thought to Ponder....

The main thing
is to keep the main thing the main thing
...my sobriety.
