AA Thought for the Day
May 12, 2008
Magic
It was plain that all these alcoholics had once felt the same hopelessness,
fear, pain, and anger I had experienced.
It was also obvious that people with drinking problems like mine
could come up out of them and -- unbelievable as it seemed at first --
laugh at them! It was evident, too, that these people had much knowledge
of alcoholism that I did not have.
They knew that it was an illness, that it could deceive its victims,
that the danger lay in the first drink.
They had some magic or information, secrets or power which I lacked,
but which might get me out of the fix I was in.
Thought to Ponder....
Life didn't end when I got sober -- it started.
