AA Thought for the Day

September 15, 2004

Perils

We have learned now not to panic
when the thought of a drink comes into the mind. . .
But the thought of a drink is not necessarily the same thing
as the desire for one,
and neither need plunge us into gloom or fear.
Both can be viewed simply as warning bells
to remind us of the perils of alcohol.
The perils are forever, even when we feel so fine
that we wonder whether it's really all right
to feel as good as we do, now.
