AA Thought for the Day
July 21, 2007
Easier, Softer Way
Like most people new to the program I set out to find an easier,softer way.
As the Big Book suggests, I could not.
When I couldn't find an easier, softer way,
I looked for the person with the magic wand,
the one person in AA who could make me all better, right now.
This was a frustrating task, and I finally realized that if I wanted this life,
I was going to have to do what the others had done.
No one made me drink, and no one is going to make me stay sober.
This program is for people who want it, not people who need it.
Thought to Ponder....
The Program was a dazzling gem being dangled before my eyes.
