AA Thought for the Day
May 27, 2007
Entanglements
Tying our sobriety to someone we are emotionally involved with
proves flatly disastrous.
"I'll stay sober if so-and-so does this or that"
puts an unhealthy condition on our recovery.
We have to stay sober for ourselves,
no matter what other people do or fail to do.
We should remember, too, that intense dislike
also is an emotional entanglement, often a reversal of past love.
We need to cool any overboard feeling,
lest it flip us back into the drink.
Thought to Ponder....
Keep your sobriety first to make it last.
