AA Thought for the Day

September 16, 2005

Easier, Softer Way

When I couldn't find an easier, softer way,
I looked for the person with the magic wand,
the one person in AA who could make me all better right now.
This was a frustrating task, and I finally realized
that if I wanted this life,
I was going to have to do what the others had done.
No one made me drink,
and no one was going to make me stay sober.
This program is for people who want it,
not people who need it.

Thought to Ponder....

While it isn't always easy,
if I keep it simple, it works.
