I remember telling a friend years ago
that I didn't have a drinking problem, I had a stopping problem.
We laughed. It was true, but there was something else going on,
something that never occurred to me until I came to AA.
I didn't just have a stopping problem.
I had a starting problem too.
No matter how often I stopped, or for how long,
I always started drinking again.
If you want to quit drinking, you are going to have to quit drinking.
A A = Absolute Abstinence.
