AA Thought for the Day

Weller than Well

I got sober in AA, and, like a miracle,
the warm flood of reality I had feared for so long
flowed over me, and I was no longer afraid.
I began to wonder why.
Along with sobriety, something new had come into my life. . .
Now this was the strange thing:
I was not, in sobriety returning to my former state.
I was not resuming a "well" state
which I had left when I began to drink alcoholically.
I was becoming, as I heard it put once,
"weller than well."

Thought to Ponder....

I had to get sober to be amazed.
