Many people tried to convince me that I was diseased, powerless, and sick, sick, sick. I resisted, and chose instead to take a direct, moral hit for each and every time I chose to drink in spite of my own better judgment. It was gut-wrenching and painful, but in exchange, I came to see the difference between right and wrong as it pertains to my own drinking.
As a result, I walk free, now and forever. May everyone else in a similar predicament do likewise.
