. . . do the right thing

"When I am willing to to do the right thing, I am rewarded with an inner peace no amount of liquor could ever provide. When I am unwilling to do the right thing, I become restless, irritable, and discontent. . . Through the Twelve Steps, I have been granted the gift of choice."

Alcoholics Anonymous, p. 317

Final Thought:

"I am no longer at the mercy of a disease that tells me the only answer is to drink. If willingness is the key to unlock the gates of hell, it is action that opens those doors so that we may walk freely among the living. "
