Lets get this out the way first.
The fact is that most alcoholics,for reasons yet obscure,have lost the power of choice in drink.
Our so called will power becomes non-existent. We are unable,at certain times,to bring into our consciousness with sufficient force the memory of the suffering and humiliation of even a week or month ago.
we are without defence against the first drink.
I felt like a puppet on a string....choice didnt come into it.
As strange as it would seem to some......i didnt want to keep doing what i was doing..but do it, i would regardless.
If i summon up enough resolve maybe id last a week..maybe 2 but the end result was a cert...
if im in the grip of a form of insanity...then even if it was a choice..it wasnt one grounded in reality.
people drink themselves to death.....is that a choice......made by a sane person..
and whats a slip??............sounds like another drink to me in a frilly dress.
