Pixel it took me 40 years of drinking before I finally drank enough.......... enough to finally be able to realize that I did not need to drink anymore............ you see I am powerless over alcohol!
Once I drink that one drink I lose every bit of power that my Higher Power has given me to not drink! At that point in time I have no idea if I will have 1 more or get and stay drunk for a week, I have no idea if I will hop in my truck drunk and drive some where to get some more beer, who knows what will happen once I have that one drink, you see I lose all power.
