As we look back,
we feel we had gone on drinking many years
beyond the point where we could quit on our will power.
If anyone questions whether he has entered
this dangerous area,
let him try leaving liquor alone for one year.
If he is a real alcoholic and very far advanced,
there is scant chance of success.
In the early days of our drinking
we occasionally remained sober for a year or more,
becoming serious drinkers again later.
Though you may be able to stop for a considerable period,
you may yet be a potential alcoholic.
We think few, to whom this book will appeal,
can stay dry anything like a year.
Some will be drunk the day after making their resolutions;
most of them within a few weeks.

Thought to Ponder....

Every recovery from alcoholism
began with one sober hour.
