FIRST THINGS FIRST
Some of us have taken very hard knocks to learn this truth:
Job or no job — wife or no wife — we simply do not stop
drinking so long as we place dependence upon other people
ahead of dependence on God.
ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 98
Before coming to A.A., I always had excuses for taking a
drink: “She said . . . , ” “He said . . . ,” “I got fired
yesterday,” “I got a great job today.” No area of my life
could be good if I drank again. In sobriety my life gets
better each day. I must always remember not to drink, to
trust God, and to stay active in A.A. Am I putting anything
before my sobriety, God, and A.A. today?
