AA Thought for the Day

February 19, 2005

Discovery

AA has accomplished so many things in my life today.
It has given me my sanity and an all-around sense of balance.
Now willing to listen and take suggestions,
I have found that the process of discovering who I really am
begins with knowing who I really don't want to be.
And although the disease of alcoholism inside of me
is like gravity, just waiting to pull me down,
AA and the Twelve Steps are like the power
that causes an airplane to become airborne:
It only works when the pilot is doing the right things
to make it work.
