AA Thought for the Day

Unable
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, (There Is A Solution) p. 24
Thought to Ponder
The person who forgets is doomed to repeat.

Thanks to all of you for sharing so generously of your experience, strength and hope in carrying the AA message.
Grateful to serve,
