Thought 2.15.09

A "slip" is sometimes defined as "Sobriety Losing Its Priority." It's when we stop doing the things we did to get sober. It's a return to the insane thinking that somehow this time when we drink it will be different. It is only possible when we lose the gut-level knowledge and certainty that we are powerless over alcohol and that our lives are unmanageable when we use alcohol.

Thought:

How many times have we heard people picking up another desire chip describe how in the period before their "slip" they had stopped going to meetings, stopped working with others, stopped calling their sponsors, and stopped reading their Big Book? How are we doing in terms of meetings, calling our sponsors, working with others and reading the Big Book? What are we doing today to maintain a fit spiritual condition? "Slip" may sound accidental, but isn't it really premeditated?
