Hi.
Years ago things were getting bad within me and a friend encouraged me to go to AA with him as he had a couple years sober time. I wish I had got off the elevator at that point. I didn’t want to be an alcoholic or give up my so called “friend” alcohol.

After a period of continued drinking it became clearer that alcoholism is very progressive and alcohol is cunning, baffling, powerful and insidious.
The simple “cure” is to stop drinking.
I tried a suggestion of the time and stopped drinking for 90 days. They said if I didn’t like the results the door was open and my misery was refundable. A lot of years later I’m still here.

It’s strongly suggested that we be honest with ourselves about our drinking AND accept that we cannot drink alcohol in safety one day at a time in a row.

BE WELL
