AA Thought for the Day

June 13, 2006

Belonging

It doesn't matter what hardships and losses
I've endured in sobriety,
I have not had to go back to drinking. . .
When I look back now,
I think I stopped maturing at fifteen
when I started to get drunk with the older guys.
I wanted to feel at peace with myself
and comfortable with other people.
I never found it in drinking.
The belonging I always wanted
I have found in AA and in sobriety.
