Thought for Today
I respect people who live in accordance with sound religious/spiritual principles out of goodness, but know that I am not one of those people. I am of the type who must have a dark shadow behind me in order to force continual spiritual growth. Alcoholism is my dark shadow, and I am grateful to have it. My choice is a simple one: struggle with God, or struggle with alcoholism. By struggling with God, (trying to live the program's basic principles), I have not had to really struggle with the insane urge to drink since I completely gave myself to AA's simple program.
