AA Thought for the Day

April 15, 2007

Complacency

When things are going great,
so well you feel almost on a non-alcoholic high -- look out!
At such times (even after several years of sobriety),
the thought of a drink may seem quite natural,
and the misery of our old drinking days temporarily dims.
Just one drink begins to seem less threatening,
and we start thinking that it wouldn't be fatal, or even harmful.
Sure enough, one would not be -- for the average person.
But our experience with a drinking problem shows us
what that one supposedly harmless, fateful drink
would do to us unaverage people.
