February 13 - We Can't Think Our Way Sober - Jay T. (Herndon, VA)
Jay sums it up succinctly as he shares on today's Daily Reflection. He can't think his way sober. Proper use of thought is BEFORE action.
WE CAN'T THINK OUR WAY SOBER
To the intellectually self-sufficient man or woman, many A. A.'s can say, "Yes, we were like you—far too smart for our own good. . . . Secretly, we felt we could float above the rest of the folks on our brain power alone."
AS BILL SEES IT, p. 60
Even the most brilliant mind is no defense against the disease of alcoholism. I can't think my way sober. I try to remember that intelligence is a God-given attribute that I may use, a joy—like having a talent for dancing or drawing or carpentry. It does not make me better than anyone else, and it is not a particularly reliable tool for recovery, for it is a power greater than myself who will restore me to sanity—not a high IQ or a college degree.
