*~*~*~*~*^ Big Book Quote ^*~*~*~*~*

"Once more: The alcoholic at certain times has no effective mental
defense against the first drink. Except in a few rare cases, neither
he nor any other human being can provide such a defense. His defense must come from a Higher Power."

I am so grateful for my HP and that he keeps it fresh in my mind where alcohol takes me. And all it would take is that first drink....
