Thought for Today
Alcoholism is a grievous and often fatal malady of the mind and body. We have found that these awful conditions invariably bring on the third phase of our malady.

Those words are: "Having had a spiritual awakening..." Here we name the remedy for our threefold sickness of body, mind, and soul.
