AA Thought for the Day

The doctor smiled and said,
"You really never made a decision, you just made declarations.
You've got to decide and if you really want to quit drinking
I know of some fellows who can help.
Would you like to meet them?"
Would a condemned man like a reprieve?
Of course I wanted to meet them.
I was so scared and so desperate
that I was willing to try anything.
Thus it was that I met the band of life-savers,
Alcoholics Anonymous.
The first thing Bill [W.] told me was his own story,
which paralleled mine in most respects . . .
It was plain to see that he was a supremely happy man.

Thought to Ponder....

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