AA Thought for the Day
(courtesy AA-Alive.net)
February 9, 2014
Twenty-four Hours
They asked, "You can quit twenty-four hours, can't you?"
I said, "Sure, yes, anybody can do that, for twenty-four hours."
They said, "That's what we're talking about. Just twenty-four hours at a time."
That sure did take a load off my mind. Every time I'd start thinking about drinking,
I would think of the long, dry years ahead without having a drink;
but this idea of twenty-four hours, that it was up to me from then on, was a lot of help.
- Alcoholics Anonymous, p. 188

Blessings in sobriety to all,
In love and service,
