AA Thought for the Day

Alcoholics do have tremendous willpower.
Consider the ways we could manage to get a drink
in defiance of all visible possibilities.
Merely to get up some mornings
-- with a rusting cast-iron stomach,
all your teeth wearing tiny sweaters,
and each hair electrified -- takes willpower
many nondrinkers rarely dream of. . .
Oh yes, real drinkers have real willpower.
The trick we learned was to put that will to work
for our health, and to make ourselves explore
recovery ideas at great depth, even though
it sometimes might have seemed like drudgery.

Thought to Ponder....

What have I been given today?
Am I willing to reach out and grasp it?
