I don't agree.
My book says that the insanity of alcohol returns, and then we drink. I do not believe I have a choice in not drinking today - if I do, that is reliance on self....and I know where self-reliance has got me in the past.
I think I have asked this before - If it is true that the insanity of alcoholism returns (because I am providing safe-harbor to fear and resentment) and then I drink. Can one honestly say that I chose to be insane? Is insanity a choice?
I don't think sobriety in AA has very much to do with free will. We are living miracles, but somehow want the credit for it.
