AA Thought for the Day

Living Sober

But we finally asked ourselves:
Wouldn't it be more intelligent to seek out
and tap a strength greater than our own than to persist in our futile solo efforts,
after they had time and again been proved ineffective?
We still don't think it is very smart to keep trying to see in the dark
if you can simply switch on a lamp and use its light.
We didn't get sober entirely on our own. . .
And the full enjoyment of living sober isn't a one-person job, either.
