AA Thought for the Day

Isolation is bad for new people, old people, and in-between people
if they are alcoholic people.
Isolation sneaks up on us. We can mask it with familiar props
that are not in themselves bad.
We can isolate ourselves in an attempt to clean up our apartments
(and then not do the cleaning);
we can isolate ourselves in churches or in sleep;
we can use family, sweethearts, compulsive working, television.
The list is long.
The nicest way to end it is the way you and I do: together.
Reach out -- people can't read your mind.
Say ouch! Someone hears. Always.

Thought to Ponder....

An alcoholic is someone who wants to be held while isolating.
