AA Thought for the Day
(courtesy AA-Alive.net)
December 5, 2020
Control
The old pleasures were gone. They were but memories. Never
could we recapture the great moments of the past. There was an
insistent yearning to enjoy life as we once did and a heartbreaking
obsession that some new miracle of control would enable us to
do it. There was always one more attempt—and one more failure.
- Alcoholics Anonymous, (A Vision For You) p. 151
Thought to Ponder
When we try to control our drinking, we have already lost control.

Grateful to serve,
