AA Thought for the Day

Convincing Evidence

My abuse of alcohol was the exterior manifestation
of a disease much more complex and consuming than simple drunkenness,
and similarly, my abstinence is the exterior manifestation
of a wellness much more rewarding than simple sobriety.
The most convincing evidence I have
is that Alcoholics Anonymous is working for me.

Thought to Ponder....

I would rather go through life sober, believing I am an alcoholic,
than go through life drunk,
trying to convince myself that I am not.
