"We have seen the truth demonstrated again and again: 'Once an alcoholic, always an alcoholic.' Commencing to drink after a period of sobriety, we are in a short time as bad as ever."
Alcoholics Anonymous, 4th Edition, More About Alcoholism, pg. 33
progression definately in my case. all it takes is the first one and i am in a black-out shortly afterwards at least that is the way it seemed at my bottom. definatelly at the other side of that bell curve. i have to say that how i am not dead is really a fact that i look at every day. i was one of thoes emotional stupid drunks. just always keeping it green to myself every day- thank god for aa. i know that the next time i will be dead because i came so close before due to my actions. i just simply cannot be trusted under the infuence--i have no control even of myself. i am certian of this and is what keeps me sober every day. good topic sometimes we need to look at the obvious. i know that it can be overlooked and forgotten because it is so cunning, baffling and powerful. thanks for keeping it simple. have a blessed day. love you all.
