AA Thought for the Day

June 5, 2006

Just For Today

Although we realize that alcoholism
is a permanent, irreversible condition,
our experience has taught us to make no long-term promises
about staying sober.
We have found it more realistic -- and more successful --
to say, "I am not taking a drink just for today.
Even if we drank yesterday, we can plan not to drink today.
We may drink tomorrow --
who knows whether we'll even be alive then? --
but for this 24 hours, we decide not to drink.

Thought to Ponder....

Every recovery from alcoholism
began with one sober hour.
