AA Thought for the Day
January 28, 2004
Addiction
It is the first drink which triggers,
immediately or some time later,
the compulsion to drink more and more
until we are in drinking trouble again.
Many of us have come to believe that our alcoholism
is an addiction to the drug alcohol;
like addicts of any sort who want to maintain recovery,
we have to keep away from the first dose of the drug
we have become addicted to.
