The Power of the Wedge

Chasing Zero: The Power of the WedgeIn AA we have formed the habit of carrying chips in our pockets to designate long lengths of sobriety. As in, 30 years is a great accomplishment. However, I haven’t found that to be true; I was closer to a drink my 21st year than I ever was my first; a more perilous 45th year than the 25th.So instead, I carry on my key chain - a wedge. Check it out: a small point on one end and a larger surface in the back.Just before the wedge begins there’s a place called Zero. And that is the place where a hunch, an idea, an inspiration, or a grudge sets the point in place.

The tip of the wedge symbolizes a small good or a small bad choice that can end either in a huge accomplishment affecting millions or someone’s tragic demise.Inspiration or grudge? How do you wish your life to be.Chasing Zero.
