Then we have a certain type of hard drinker. He may have the habit badly enough to gradually impair him physically and mentally. It may cause him to die a few years before his time. If a sufficiently strong reason----ill health, falling in love, change in environment, or the warning of a doctor, becomes operative, this man can also stop or moderate, although he may find it difficult and troublesome and may even need medical attention. From the chapter "There Is A Solution" in the Big Book |
Am I a moderate drinker? Can I take it or leave it alone with sufficient reason? When I stop does my mind continue to think about when I might drink again or am I able to go on with my life without the obsession to drink?
