We need to be as diligent in attending AA meetings
as we were in drinking.
What serious drinker ever let distance, or weather,
or illness, or business, or guests, or being broke,
or the hour, or anything else keep him or her
from that really wanted drink?
We cannot let anything keep us from AA meetings,
either, if we really want to recover.
We have also found that going to meetings
is not something to be done
only when we feel the temptation to drink.

Thought to Ponder....

The ankle-biters of everyday struggles will eat away at me
unless I go to meetings and share.
