AA Thought for the Day

Willingness for Today

I am an alcoholic. If I drink I will die.
My, what power, energy, and emotion
this simple statement generates in me!
But it's really all I need to know for today.
Am I willing to stay alive today?
Am I willing to stay sober today?
Am I willing to ask for help and am I willing to be a help
to another suffering alcoholic today?
Have I discovered the fatal nature of my situation?
What must I do, today, to stay sober?

Thought to Ponder....

What have I been given today?
Am I willing to reach out and grasp it?
