AA Thought for the Day

February 10, 2007

Tonic

I needed to be other. That's why I drank.
I still need to be other.
Having tried the toxic way of drugs and excess,
let me try the "tonic" way of the Steps,
the way of health and joy.
The Steps are the specific medicine for the thing
that's wrong (or right -- it doesn't matter) with me: alcoholism.
They are the way to be other -- and sane into the bargain.
