AA Thought for the Day

Without Defense
The fact is that most alcoholics, for reasons yet obscure,
have lost the power of choice in drink.
Our so-called will power becomes practically nonexistent.
We are unable, at certain times, to bring into our consciousness with sufficient force
the memory of the suffering and humiliation of even a week or a month ago.
We are without defense against the first drink.
- Alcoholics Anonymous, p. 24
Thought to Ponder
The first drink has the last say.
AA-related 'Alconym'
I S M = Incredibly Short Memory.
Thanks to all of you for sharing so generously of your experience, strength and hope in carrying the AA message.
In grateful service,
