Arrow If you are seriously alcoholic...

"If you are seriously alcoholic, we believe you have no middle-of-the-road solution. You are in a position where life is becoming impossible, and if you have passed into the region from which there is no return through human aid, you have but two alternatives: one is to go on to the bitter end, blotting out the consciousness of your intolerable situation as best you can; and the other, to find what we have found. This you can do if you honestly want to, and are willing to make the effort."

If I can help, please PM me.

111 folks have read the above paragraph from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous. I wonder if it is helping...

Anything I share in a meeting that does not pass on my experience with how I had a spiritual awakening and recovered from alcoholism is Middle of the Road.

90-90, don't drink, go to meetings, ask for help, call your sponsor before you drink, think it through.............

All middle of the road solutions as far as I'm concerned, course I'm talking about real alcoholics who have placed themselves beyond human aid, not everyone who reads this post may fit that description. Diagnose yourself, the book gives instructions on how to do this.
