AA Thought for the Day

Coercion

Though it is traditional that our Fellowship may not coerce anyone,
let us not suppose even for an instant that we are not under constraint.
Indeed, we are under enormous coercion -- the kind that comes in bottles.
Our former tyrant, King Alcohol, always stands ready again
to clutch us to him.
Therefore, freedom from alcohol
is the great "must" that has to be achieved, else we go mad or die.
