AA Thought for the Day

August 5, 2005

An Answer

If you think you are an atheist, an agnostic, a skeptic,
or have any other form of intellectual pride
which keeps you from accepting what is in this book,
I feel sorry for you.
If you still think you are strong enough
to beat the game alone, that is your affair.
But if you really and truly want to quit drinking liquor
for good and all, and sincerely feel
that you must have some help,
we know that we have an answer for you.
It never fails, if you go about it with one half the zeal
you have been in the habit of showing
when you were getting another drink.
Your Heavenly Father will never let you down!
- Dr. Bob S., AA Co-founder.
