AA Thought for the Day
May 21, 2013
Complacency
[Addiction] is deadly, ugly, and tough. It is also cunning, baffling, and powerful. . .It wants me to believe that self-indulgence is fine, as long as I call it self-forgiveness. . . It wants me to forget that it is a snake in the brain, hoping to catch my eye, watching, waiting. The gritty pain of [addiction] is the traction of recovery. I cannot afford to sell off the principles for an easier, softer way.
- The Best of the Grapevine [Vol. 3], p. 165
Thought to Ponder . . .
The [addict] is in no greater peril than when he takes sobriety for granted.
