AA Thought for the Day

October 18, 2007

First Things First

This is strictly a matter of survival for us.
We have learned that alcoholism is a killer disease,
leading to death in a large number of ways.
We prefer not to activate that disease by risking a drink. . .
When we view alcoholism as the life-or-death matter it is,
the answer is plain.
If we do not save our health -- our lives -- then certainly
we will have no family, no job, and no friends.
If we value family, job, and friends,
we must first save our own lives in order to cherish all three.
