AA Thought for the Day
June 1, 2007
House Cleaning
Sure, I was beaten, absolutely licked.
My own willpower just wouldn't work on alcohol.
Change of scene, the best efforts of family, friends, doctors,
and clergymen got no place with my alcoholism.
I simply couldn't stop drinking,
and no human being could seem to do the job for me.
But when I became willing to clean house
and then asked a Higher Power, God as I understand Him,
to give me release, my obsession to drink vanished.
It was lifted right out of me.
Thought to Ponder....
Trust God. Clean house. Help others.
