AA Thought for the Day

Revolutionary Change

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.
