AA Thought for the Day

A Riddle

Opinions vary considerably
as to why the alcoholic reacts differently from normal people.
We are not sure why, once a certain point is reached,
little can be done for him.
We cannot answer the riddle.
We know that while the alcoholic keeps away from drink,
he reacts much like other men.
We are equally positive
that once he takes any alcohol into his system,
something happens, both in the bodily and mental sense,
which makes it virtually impossible for him to stop.
