AA Thought for the Day

May 28, 2006

Old Ideas

The ideas that got so embedded in our lives during drinking
do not all disappear, as if by magic,
the moment we start keeping the plug in the jug.
Our days of wine and "Sweet Adeline" may be gone,
but the malady lingers on.
So we have found it therapeutic to nip off old ideas
that start to sprout up again.
And they do, over and over.
What we try to achieve is a feeling of being relaxed
and free from the bonds of our old thinking.
