I had to realize that my best thinking got me to being addicted to dope and alcohol. Tried making myself believe that I could go it alone, again my best thinking, and I failed miserably time and time again.

There's a difference between a heavy drinker and an alcoholic . A heavy drinker is not addicted and while it may not be easy can stop. An alcoholic can't go it alone.

After 31 years of turning it over to God daily, I still think about having a cold beer on a hot day or just one good drink of whiskey. My best thinking now let's me see through the drink. The alcoholism is outside doing push-ups getting in shape to defeat me if I don't rely on God and AA . But that's me and I'm happier than a man has a right to be, blessed.

When I was young I drank my share of alcohol but as I got older I noticed the hang overs were getting worse. One day as I was laying in bed I thought to myself if I ate something that made me feel like this I wouldn't eat it anymore. Haven't been drunk in 33 years and don't miss it at all. (Still drink a six pack or so a year though) but doctor says a couple is good for you.
