Why do we drink?
We like the effects produced by alcohol.
It changes how we feel.
It also harms us and others.
When the harm outweighs the payoff...
When we fully realize that we are killing ourselves with booze...
When we are able to realize the horrible abuse that we instill on those that love us...
We become willing to seek whatever we can that will solve our problem.
Some of us cannot solve our own problem. We need help.
This help may come in many forms.
Turn to a source of help and take action to change.
Being stuck in a pattern of guilt and relapse can continue for years.
