AA Thought for the Day

September 8, 2006

Entanglements

We need to cool any overboard feeling,
lest it flip us back into the drink.
It is easy to consider yourself an exception
to this generalization.
Newly sober; you may earnestly believe
that you have at long last found real love --
or that your present attitude of dislike,
persisting even into sobriety, means there
was always something fundamentally wrong
about the relationship.
In either instance, you may be right --
but just now, it's wise to wait and see
whether your attitude will change.
