The Will to Live

IT is a strange, yet comforting, truth that whenever we hit a low period in our life in AA, when we find ourselves depressed for no apparent reason, sooner or later something outside ourselves brings us back up to the old feeling of joy in our sobriety. It's a feeling of cleanness, like talcum powder after a shower. It is the warmth of sunlight through rose-stained window panes. It is love that has forgotten to be jealous and self-seeking.
