AA Thought for the Day

I know now that what is involved
in taking the AA program entire,
as the early AA's gave it to us,
is not the prospect of turning into
some sort of repulsive goody-goody.
It's the threat of being truly alive, and even perhaps ecstatic.
I'm coming to believe that if I do not accept
all of what this program offers (demands?),
but instead walk away from it
as somehow more that I bargained for, I might get drunk.
In other words, if I do not take AA's Twelve Steps
seriously and in full,
I cannot expect to be "on the program."

Thought to Ponder....

Wisdom is knowing what to do, virtue is doing it.
