AA Thought for the Day

Bankruptcy
No other kind of bankruptcy is like this one.
Alcohol, now become the rapacious creditor,
bleeds us of all self-sufficiency and all will to resist its demands.
Once this stark fact is accepted, our bankruptcy as going human concerns
is complete. But upon entering AA we soon take quite another view of this
absolute humiliation. We perceive that only through utter defeat
are we able to take our first steps toward liberation and strength.
- Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, p. 21

Blessings in sobriety to all,
In love and service,
