AA Thought for the Day

August 3, 2006

Seduction

Although alcohol is not a part of my life
and I no longer have the compulsion to drink,
it can still occur to me what a good drink tastes like
and what it can do for me,
from my stand-at-attention alcoholic taste buds
right down to my stretched out tingling toes. . .
Such thoughts are like red flags,
telling me that something is not right. . .
It's time to get back to basic AA
and see what needs changing.
That special relationship with alcohol
will always be there,
waiting to seduce me again.
