But still, this addiction can really surprise you. You can think it's totally behind you, and then something really painful can happen that turns into you drinking like a fish for a month, wondering who you are and taking all that confidence away from you.
You have to be mentally prepared for the sharp turn in the road that could come up.
My book tells me that I need to be
spiritually prepared for the sharp turns that
will come up.
And my experience confirms the truth of this. It can be easy to stay sober when things are going well, but when the bad thing happens, will we turn to our new solution, or the old one?
