Opinions vary considerably
as to why the alcoholic reacts differently from normal people.
We are not sure why, once a certain point is reached,
little can be done for him.
We cannot answer the riddle.

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

Thought to Ponder....

I am not just one drink away from a drunk.
I am one drink away from never being sober again
in this lifetime.
