AA Thought for the Day

October 29, 2004

Illness

Instead of persisting in drinking,
we prefer to figure out, and use,
enjoyable ways of living without alcohol.
We need not be ashamed that we have a disease.
It is no disgrace.
No one knows exactly why
some people become alcoholics while others don't.
It is not our fault.
We did not want to become alcoholics.
We did not try to get this illness.

Thought to Ponder....

We cannot direct the wind, but we can adjust our sails.
