In AA we try to avoid the expressions "on the wagon" and "taking the pledge." They remind us of our failures. Although we realize that alcoholism is a permanent, irreversible condition, our experience has taught us to make no long-term promises about staying sober. We have found it more realistic—and more successful—to say, "I am not taking a drink, just for today."

Even if we drank yesterday, we can plan not to drink today. We may drink tomorrow—who knows whether we'll even be alive then?—but for this 24 hours, we decide not to drink. No matter what the temptation or provocation, we determine to go to any extremes necessary to avoid a drink today.
