Fear may have originally pushed some of us
toward looking into the possibility
that we might have a drinking problem.
And over a short period,
fear alone may help some of us stay away from a drink.
But a fearful state is not a very happy or relaxed one
to maintain for very long.
So we try to develop a healthy respect
for the power of alcohol, instead of fear of it,
just as people have a healthy respect
for cyanide, iodine, or any other poison.

Thought to Ponder....

When we try to control our drinking we have already lost control.
