AA Thought for the Day

Choices

I never felt that I had a choice in altering my life.
My decisions had been based on fear, pride, or ego.
As a result, those decisions led me down the path
of self-destruction.
Today I try to allow my God to guide me
on the road to sanity.
I am responsible for my action -- or inaction --
whatever the consequences may be.

My name is Alison, and I'm an alcoholic.

We in AA have the privilege of living two lives in one lifetime. One is a life of drunkenness, failure and defeat, then through AA, another life of sobriety, peace of mind, and usefulness. We who have recovered our sobriety are modern miracles. And we're living on borrowed time. Some of us might have been dead long ago. But we have been given another chance to live.
