AA Thought for the Day

April 7, 2008

Unmanageable

The unmanageable aspect is part of day-to-day living
and carries in it the trigger for the alcoholic's obsession to drink.
All the laws that are at work in the world are going to make every life
unmanageable to one degree or another from time to time.
But for the alcoholic there is not only an additional danger,
but also an additional opportunity.
AA offers us a program of recovery from our past feelings
about the unmanageability of life . . .
That's more than most of the rest of the people in the world have going for them
when they find their lives have become unmanageable.
