AA Thought for the Day

Real Alcoholics
Despite all we can say, many who are real alcoholics are not
going to believe they are in that class.
By every form of self-deception and experimentation, they will try to prove
themselves exceptions to the rule, therefore nonalcoholic.
- Alcoholics Anonymous, p. 31
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'
