Dr. Twerski's Sober Thought - July

July 18

It Doesn't Matter Where You Are

We must always put principles above personalities. A person with six years of sobriety moved, contacted AA, and established a relationship with a new sponsor. Nevertheless, he relapsed. The principles of AA and NA are the same everywhere, and the Steps are no different in Oregon than in Virginia. This person had stayed sober primarily to earn the respect of his friends. The new location offered him the same principles but not the same personalities. If you are in a new location, do not let this affect you. Continue faithful adherence to the Twelve Step program, and you can be sober anywhere.
