AA Thought for the Day

October 27, 2007

Elevator Ride

It was time to get off the elevator.
I didn't have to go all the way to the bottom.
It was the first time that I knew I was an alcoholic.
I had to stop drinking and work the program of AA for myself, and myself alone,
That was the last time I drank.
I got off the elevator and started on my way back up to happiness
and a life where I am learning to feel and deal with problems
without numbing myself. . .
I have found a new freedom, and I am amazed before I am halfway through.
