AA Thought for the Day
February 1, 2007
Irrational
Few indeed are the practicing alcoholics
who have any idea how irrational they are,
or seeing their irrationality, can bear to face it.
Some will be willing to term themselves "problem drinkers,"
but cannot endure the suggestion
that they are in fact mentally ill. . .
Yet no alcoholic, soberly analyzing his destructive behavior,
whether the destruction fell on the dining room furniture
or his own moral fiber,
can claim "soundness of mind" for himself.
Thought to Ponder....
An alcoholic in his cups is an unlovely creature.
