AA Thought for the Day

I realized for the first time that as a practicing alcoholic, I had no rights.
Society can do anything it chooses to do with me when I am drunk,
and I can't lift a finger to stop it,
for I forfeit my rights through the simple expedient of becoming a menace
to myself and to the people around me.
With deep shame came the knowledge too that I had lived
with no sense of social obligation
nor had I known the meaning of moral responsibility to my fellow men.

Thought to Ponder....

In the depth of winter I finally learned
that there was in me an invincible summer.
