We are also 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 normal, 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.
No medication or psychological treatment
any of us ever had "cured" our alcoholism.

Thought to Ponder....

Many things can be preserved with alcohol.
Dignity is not one of them.
