Living Sober
Page 3 continued
One more thing. A.A. does not pretend to offer scientific expertise on staying sober. We can share with you only our own personal experience, not professional theories and explanations.
So these pages offer no new medical shortcuts on how to stop drinking if you are still doing it, nor any miraculous secrets for shortening or avoiding a hangover.
Sometimes, getting sober can be done on your own at home; but frequently, prolonged drinking has caused such serious medical problems that you would be better advised to seek medical or hospital help for drying out. If you are that seriously ill, you may need such professional services before you can possibly be interested in what we offer here.
