DAILY REFLECTION – GIVING UP INSANITY
12 April 2024
GIVING UP INSANITY
. . . where alcohol has been involved, we have been strangely insane.
ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 38
Alcoholism required me to drink, whether I wanted to or not. Insanity dominated my life and was the essence of my disease. It robbed me of the freedom of choice over drinking and, therefore, robbed me of all other choices. When I drank, I was unable to make effective choices in any part of my life and life became unmanageable.
I ask God to help me understand and accept the full
meaning of the disease of alcoholism.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Our human resources, as marshalled by the will, were notsufficient; they failed utterly. Pg 45
