From
"Getting out of the 'if' trap:"
"Alcoholism
respects no ifs. It does not go away, not for a
week, for a day, or even for an hour, leaving us
nonalcoholic and able to drink again on some special
occasion or for some extraordinary reason -- not even if
it is a once-in-a-lifetime celebration, or if a big
sorrow hits us, or if it rains in Spain or the stars
fall on Alabama. Alcoholism
is for us unconditional, with no dispensations available
at any price."

1975, Living Sober, page 63

Just
for Today -- A Daily Devotional
**********************************
When
an “if” statement comes into our world -- it likely
means excuse. Nothing
can happen in our lives that would be any condition for
us to use/drink.
The
base of the program is complete abstinence from drugs
and alcohol -- and no room for the if’s.
The good thing about unconditional is that it
also applies to the love and acceptance of God and the
group we are recovering with.
Two fine precepts –- unconditional love and
unconditional abstinence.
Practicing these precepts assures our success.
Keep
yourselves in God's love as you wait for the mercy of
our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life.
Be merciful to those who doubt; snatch others from the
fire and save them; to others show mercy, mixed with
fear--hating even the clothing stained by corrupted
flesh.

1: 21-23

”Two are better than one, because they
have a good reward for their toil.
For if they fall, one will lift up the other;
but woe to one who is alone and falls
and does not have another to help”
-- Ecclesiastes 4:9-10

this message to other alcoholics!
You
can help when no one else can."
