We have learned not to panic
when the thought of a drink comes into the mind.
After all, it is a natural thought for anyone to have
in modern times, and especially understandable
for those of us who have had extensive practice in the art.
But the thought of a drink is not necessarily
the same thing as the desire for one,
and neither need plunge us into gloom and fear.
Both can be viewed simply as warning bells
to remind us of the perils of alcoholism.
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.

Thought to Ponder....

Alcoholism is incurable, progressive, and fatal.
