I wish I had a dollar for everytime I said that.

The only way out that worked for me was steps, sponsor, meetings, fellowship.

“Nothing short of a concerted effort on the twelve steps as a way of life would bring the much desired result”

I was in, boots and all. Prejudice set to one side, no reservations, open minded, honest and willing to do anything. I was a bit slow with the steps, if you go by the time scale in the book, but I was at step nine in three months and the alcohol problem had been removed. I have never considered drinking since. It worked for me, it might work for you.

We take the steps to recover, not the other way around.
