AA Thought for the Day
October 3, 2007
A Matter of Tense
One of the main differences between an active alcoholic
and a recovering alcoholic can be expressed as a matter of tense.
The active alcoholic tends to live in the future or in the past.
The sober alcoholic,
using part of the philosophy he learns in his AA experience,
lives or strives to live in the present.
The nondrinking alcoholic discovers in AA
that you cannot Get Ahead until you learn to be Here.
Thought to Ponder....
When we were drinking, our lives were run by the past;
they don't have to be today.
