The AA preoccupation with sobriety is sometimes misunderstood.
To some, this single virtue appears to be the sole dividend of our Fellowship.
We are thought to be dried-up drunks who otherwise
have changed little, or not at all, for the better.
Such a surmise widely misses the truth.
We know that permanent sobriety can be attained
only by a most revolutionary change in the life and outlook of the individual
-- by a spiritual awakening that can banish the desire to drink.
Without change I am just a non-drinking drunk.
