Unchangeable Fact

We try never to lose sight of the unchangeable fact of our alcoholism, but we learn not to brood or feel sorry for ourselves or talk about it all the time.
We accept it as a characteristic of our body -- like our height or our need for glasses, or like any allergies we may have.
Then we can figure out how to live comfortably -- not bitterly -- with that knowledge as long as we start out by simply avoiding that first drink (remember?) just for today.
- Living Sober, p. 9



The first drink has the last say.

We cannot change the directions of the wind,
but we can adjust our sails.

Living without an aim is like sailing without a compass.

Have a beautiful day unless you plan otherwise.
