"Thought for the Day"

[Lea]

An Inner Voice

Long before nagging and pressures from others
concerning my excessive use of alcohol made any impression on me,
the nagging voice of conscience -- my own inner voice of truth and right --
apprised me of the irrevocable fact that I had lost control of alcohol,
that I was powerless.
I know now that the inner voice was God, as I understand Him, speaking.
For, as I had been taught from earliest memory and as AA has emphasized,
God -- or good -- emanates from within each of us.
