At a certain point in the drinking of every alcoholic,
he passes into a state where the most powerful desire to stop drinking is of absolutely no avail.
This tragic situation has already arrived in practically every case before it is suspected.
The fact is that most alcoholics,
for reasons yet obscure,
have lost the power of choice in drink. . .
We are without defense against the first drink.
Just for today, I choose not to drink.
