There was a time when we ignored trouble,
hoping it would go away.
Or, in fear and in depression, we ran from it,
but found it was still with us.
Often, full of unreason, bitterness and blame,
we fought back.
These mistaken attitudes, powered by alcohol,
guaranteed our destruction, unless they were altered.
Then came AA. . .
Surprisingly, we found that our troubles could,
under God's grace,
be converted into unimagined blessings.
Not to change is not to adapt;
not to adapt is to become extinct.
A A = Attitude Adjustment.
