AA Thought for the Day

No Defense
Once more: The alcoholic at certain times has no effective
mental defense against the first drink. Except in a few cases,
neither he nor any other human being can provide such a
defense. His defense must come from a Higher Power.
- Alcoholics Anonymous, (More About Alcoholism) p. 43
Thought to Ponder . . .
