Living Sober 10/16

[rosie read and post]

AA Thought for the Day
October 16, 2003
Healthy Respect
Fear may have originally pushed some of us
toward looking into the possibility
that we might have a drinking problem.
And over a short period,
fear alone may help some of us stay away from a drink.
But a fearful state is not a very happy or relaxed one
to maintain for very long.
So we try to develop a healthy respect
for the power of alcohol, instead of fear of it,
just as people have a healthy respect
for cyanide, iodine, or any other poison.

Given your proclivity for talking the talk, along with your ignorance of
walking the walk, fear is probably your safest option.

Well, now that we've read this here, it's a fact that it's simply
another opinion. Right?

living with it in my life.eventually the fear turned into respect...the
respect i have for this drug is so great...and this has helped me live
a better life...because i know where it took me and also where i can let
