A.A. Letter "Sobriety & Peace of Mind" most important

Alcoholics Anonymous

Dear Friend;

Sobriety and peace of mind are the most important things in your
life with out exception.
You may believe your job, or your home, your family, or one
many other things comes first. But consider, if you do not get sober
and stay sober, chances are you won’t have a job, a home, a family,
sanity, or even life. If you are really serious, and are convinced that
everything in life, depends on your sobriety, you have just so much
more the better chance of getting sober and staying sober.
Every day, every hour of the day, even minutes of the hour, at times
you may have to keep convincing yourself that sobriety is your most
precious possession, and that when sobriety is lost, all is lost, or
slipping fast. If you put other things first, you are only hurting your
chances of staying sober.
Life is easier to take than you think. All that is necessary is to accept
the impossible, do without the indispensable, and bear the intolerable.
Don’t Louse It Up; Keep It Simple.
