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. . .
The fact is that most alcoholics,
for reasons yet obscure,
have lost the power of choice in drink. . .
We are unable, at certain times,
to bring into our consciousness with sufficient force
the memory of the suffering and humiliation
of even a week or a month ago.
We are without defense against the first drink.

Thought to Ponder....

The ultimate defense against the first drink
is a spiritual one.
