A Legitimate Reason
So our rule is not to avoid a place where there is drinking,
if we have a legitimate reason for being there. . .
Go or stay away, whichever seems best. But be sure you are on solid spiritual
ground before you start and that your motive in going is thoroughly good. Do
not think of what you will get out of the occasion. Think of what you can bring
to it. But if you are shaky, you had better work with another alcoholic instead!

Thought to Ponder . . .
Life didn't end when I got sober, it started.
