Vain Attempts
Most of us have been unwilling to admit we were real alcoholics. No person
likes to think he is bodily and mentally different from his fellows. Therefore,
it is not surprising that our drinking careers have been characterized by
countless vain attempts to prove we could drink like other people.
- Alcoholics Anonymous, (More About Alcoholism) p. 30
Thought to Ponder
I would rather go through life sober, believing I am an alcoholic,
than go through life drunk, trying to convince myself that I am not.
AA-related 'Alconym'

Thanks to all of you for sharing so generously of your experience, strength and hope in carrying the AA message.
Grateful to serve,
