AA Thought for the Day

November 10, 2004

Dry Drunk

Sometimes, we become depressed.
I ought to know;
I have been a champion dry-bender case myself.
While the surface causes were a part of the picture
-- trigger events that precipitated depression --
the underlying causes, I am satisfied, ran much deeper.
Intellectually, I could accept my situation.
Emotionally, I could not.
To these problems, there are certainly no pat answers.
But part of the answer surely lies in the constant effort
to practice all of AA Twelve Steps.

Thought to Ponder....

If I am upset, I am the problem.
