“Often in early sobriety, I would review my relationship with alcohol. I mused that my life felt so miserable without it, that it was almost like having it with me still. It was quite a paradox at the time.”
How wonderful that we have met with a paradox. Now we have some hope of making progress.
— Niels Bohr
When we work at our twelve steps, the old life of guzzling and fuzzy thinking, and all that goes with it, gradually dies, and we acquire a different and a better way of life. As our shortcomings are re- moved, one life of us dies, and another life of us lives. We in A.A. die to live.
