Our Problem Centers in the Mind

We know as long as the alcoholic keeps away from drink, he usually reacts much like other men. We are equally positive that once he takes any alcohol whatever into his system, something happens, in both the bodily and the mental sense, which makes it virtually impossible for him to stop. The experience of any alcoholic will abundantly confirm this.

These observations would be academic and pointless if our friend never took the first drink, thereby setting the terrible cycle in motion. Therefore, the main problem of the alcoholic centers in his mind, rather than in his body.

I was told that drinking was not a choice (something that I disagree with)--So one can not control their body or mind? Then what can we control? Or am I misinterpreting everything.

Some days I do tend to do that lol

I guess it depends on your personal philosophy and experience, airwick.

I believe I have a choice to drink or not to drink. If I do drink, I react differently to non-alcoholics.
