AA Thought for the Day

July 3, 2006

Decision
Anywhere, at any stage in the downward progression
of the illness called alcoholism,
you can face your problem squarely
and become willing to do something about it. . .
The decision is yours.
It does not matter whether you are 18 or 80,
rich or poor or in-between,
bristling with college degrees or barely educated,
out on your own or sheltered in a family household --
it is you who must decide,
because it is you who must take action.
If you want to stop drinking, it is you who will have to do it.
But not alone.
Only reach out, wherever you are, and the hand of AA
will be there, touching yours, ready to help you.

Thought to Ponder....

Nothing is so bad that a drink won't make worse.
