We are convinced,
after the countless attempts we made
to prove otherwise, that alcoholism is incurable
-- just like some other illnesses.
It cannot be "cured" in this sense.
We cannot change our body chemistry
and go back to being the moderate social drinkers
lots of us seemed to be in our youth.
As some of us put it,
we can no more make that change
than a pickle can change itself back into a cucumber.

Thought to Ponder....

Nothing is so bad that a drink won't make worse.
