AA Thought for the Day

Our Common Solution
I think it is extremely important to emphasize that I am an alcoholic,
and that in meetings of Alcoholics Anonymous we discuss the common solution to alcoholism that we share.
If I'm "an alcoholic and an addict" and you're "an alcoholic and a compulsive overeater"
and the person leading the meeting is "an alcoholic and a compulsive gambler," we begin to lose our commonality.
I become slightly different from you -- an attitude that I believe is potentially fatal.
- The Best of the Grapevine [Vol. 3], pp. 248-249

Blessings in sobriety to all,
In love and service,
