AA Thought for the Day

May 11, 2005

Habits

Our drinking was connected with many habits
-- big and little.
Some of them were thinking habits,
or things we felt inside ourselves.
Others were doing habits -- things we did, actions we took.
In getting used to not drinking,
we have found that we needed new habits
to take the place of those old ones.
After we spent a few months
practicing these new, sober habits
or ways of acting and thinking,
they become almost second nature to most of us,
as drinking used to be.

Thought to Ponder....

Every recovery from alcoholism
began with one sober hour.
