Personally, I take the attitude
that I intend never to drink again.
This is somewhat different from saying,
"I will never drink again."
The latter attitude sometimes gets people in trouble
because it is undertaking on a personal basis
to do what we alcoholics could never do.
It is too much an act of will
and leaves too little room for the idea
that God will release us from the drink obsession
provided we follow the AA program.
Within our wonderful new world,
we have found freedom from our fatal obsession.
