Most certainly I was powerless over alcohol,
and for me, my life had become unmanageable.
It wasn't how far I had gone, but where I was headed.
It was important to me
to see what alcohol had done to me
and would continue to do if I didn't have help.
At first it was a shock to realize I was an alcoholic,
but the realization that there was hope made it easier.
The baffling problem of getting drunk
when I had every intention of staying sober was simplified.
It was a great relief
to know I didn't have to drink any more.

Thought to Ponder....

I would rather go through life sober,
believing I am an alcoholic,
than go through life drunk,
trying to convince myself that I am not.
