Reading_for_today_-_sums_it_all_up

I read the "24 hours a Day" meditation book each morning.

Below was today's "thought of the day" and I thought it described alcoholism (at least mine) pretty well-

Alcohol is our weakness. We suffer from mental conflicts from which we look for escape by drowning our problems in drink. We try through drink to push away from the realities of life. But alcohol does not feed, alcohol does not build, it only borrows from the future and it ultimately destroys. We try to drown our feelings in order to escape life's realities, little realizing or caring that in continued drinking we are only multiplying our problems. Have I got control over my unstable emotions?
