AA Thought for the Day

Slips may be due to the illusion
that one can be "cured" of alcoholism.
Slips can also be charged to carelessness
and complacency.
Many of us fail to ride out these periods sober.
Things go fine for two or three years --
then the member is seen no more.
Some of us suffer extreme guilt because of vices
or practices that we can't or won't let go of.
Too little self-forgiveness and too little prayer --
well, this combination adds up to slips.

Thought to Ponder....

Having a slip is not an option;
staying sober is the solution.
