AA Thought for the Day

January 15, 2007

Loneliness

As we became subjects of King Alcohol,
shivering denizens of his mad realm,
the chilling vapor that is loneliness settled down.
It thickened, ever becoming blacker.
Some of us sought out sordid places, hoping to find
understanding companionship and approval.
Momentarily we did -- then would come oblivion
and the awful awakening to face the hideous Four Horsemen --
Terror, Bewilderment, Frustration, Despair.
Unhappy drinkers who read this page will understand!

Thought to Ponder....

Nothing is so bad, that a drink won't make worse.
