Big Book Quote of the Day - May 28, 2009

"To get over drinking will require a transformation of thought and attitude. We all had to place recovery above everything, for without recovery we would have lost both home and business."

- Alcoholics Anonymous, 4Th Edition, To Employers, pg. 143

Without a doubt I have learned in recovery that AA has to be first.  Whether its my family, my business or any other activity or function without AA, everything goes down.  And remember, when AA is first, be careful of what's number 2 because it wants to be number one.  So one day at a time, I can have everything as long as I keep AA where it is supposed to be - at the top of the list.
