Facts Have a Life of Their Own

NOT LONG AGO I read a sign on a wall: "Don't confuse me with facts, my mind is already made up." It occurred to me that that could be applied to the so-called "slipper." If we call our sponsor or a fellow AA for help before we take that first drink, we won't make our minds up without at least a reminder of the facts. Better we should be confused with facts than with alcohol!
