AA Thought for the Day

Paradox
3. We SUFFER TO GET WELL.
There is no way to escape the terrible suffering
of remorse and regret and shame and embarrassment
which starts us on the road to getting well
from our affliction.
There is no new way to shake out a hangover.
It's painful. And for us necessarily so. . .
We suffer to get well.
Thought to Ponder....
We surrender to win;
we give away to keep; we suffer to get well;
we die to live.
