AA Thought for the Day

Alcoholic Mind
They had said that though I did raise a defense, it would one day
give way before some trivial reason for having a drink. Well, just
that did happen and more, for what I had learned of alcoholism
did not occur to me at all. I knew from that moment that I had
an alcoholic mind. I saw that will power and self-knowledge
would not help in those strange mental blank spots.
- Alcoholics Anonymous, (More About Alcoholism) p. 42
Thought to Ponder
The ultimate defense against the first drink is a spiritual one.

Grateful to serve,
