"He drank not as an epicure, but barbarious, with a speed and dispatch, as if he were performing a homicidal function, as if he had to kill something inside himself; a worm that would not die." ~Baudelaire speaking of Edgar Allen Poe

Today I am grateful...

• for a recent reminder of There by the Grace of God Go I
• that today is Mary Christine's natal birthday. Happy Birthday, MC!

We who had won so handsomely in a walk turned into all-time losers. We saw that we had to reconsider or die. We found many in A.A. who once thought as we did. They helped us to get down to our right size. By their example they showed us that humility and intellect could be compatible, provided we placed humility first. When we began to do that, we received the gift of faith, a faith which works. This faith is for you, too. ~12 & 12
