AA Thought for the Day
October 3, 2006
Family Matters
We find the more one member of the family demands
that the others concede to him,
the more resentful they become.
This makes for discord and unhappiness. . .
Cessation of drinking is but the first step
away from a highly strained, abnormal condition.
A doctor said to us, "Years of living with an alcoholic
is almost sure to make any wife or child neurotic.
The entire family is, to some extent, ill."
Let families realize, as they start their journey,
that all will not be fair weather.
Thought to Ponder....
Things don't have to be bad to get worse.
