AA Thought for the Day

September 12, 2006

Immunity

We have seen the truth demonstrated again and again:
"Once an alcoholic, always an alcoholic."
Commencing to drink after a period of sobriety,
we are in a short time as bad as ever.
If we are planning to stop drinking,
there must be no reservation of any kind,
nor any lurking notion
that someday we will be immune to alcohol.

Thought to Ponder....

I would rather go through life sober,
believing I am an alcoholic,
than go through life drunk,
trying to convince myself that I am not.
