AA Thought for the Day

January 10, 2007

Warning Bells

We have learned now not to panic
when the thought of a drink comes into the mind.
After all, it is a natural thought for anyone to have
in modern times,
and especially understandable for those of us
who have had extensive practice in the art.
But the thought of a drink is not necessarily the same thing
as the desire for one,
and neither need plunge us into gloom or fear.
Both can be viewed simply as warning bells
to remind us of the perils of alcoholism.

Thought to Ponder....

In AA we put down the drink
and pick up our lives.
