AA Thought for the Day

Riddle
Opinions vary considerably as to why the alcoholic reacts differently from normal people.
We are not sure why, once a certain point is reached, little can be done for him.
We cannot answer the riddle. We know that while the alcoholic keeps away from drink,
as he may do for months or years, he reacts much like other men.
We are equally positive that once he takes any alcohol whatever into his system,
something happens, both in the bodily and mental sense,
which makes it virtually impossible for him to stop.
- Alcoholics Anonymous, pp. 22-23
Thought to Ponder . . .
If we want to quit drinking, we are going to have to quit drinking.

Thanks to all of you for sharing so generously of your experience, strength and hope in carrying the AA message.
Blessings in sobriety to all,
In love and service,
