AA Thought for the Day

Habits

Our drinking was connected with many habits -- big and little.
Some of them were thinking habits,
or things we felt inside ourselves.
Others were doing habits -- things we did, actions we took.
In getting used to not drinking, we have found
that we needed new habits to take the place
of those old ones. . .
After we spent a few months practicing these new,
sober habits or ways of acting and thinking,
they became almost second nature to most of us,
as drinking used to be.
Not drinking has become natural and easy,
not a long, dreary struggle.
