AA Thought for the Day

December 7, 2006

Options

Angry doesn't begin to describe how I felt
when I had to admit I was an alcoholic.
Even though I was grateful not to be nuts,
as I'd first supposed, I felt cheated.
All the people I saw sitting around the tables of AA
had been granted many more years of drinking than I.
It just wasn't fair!
Someone pointed out to me that life was rarely fair.
I wasn't amused, but extending my drinking career
wasn't an option anymore.

Thought to Ponder....

If you want to quit drinking,
you are going to have to quit drinking.
