I found that it was not knowledge that kept me sober. It was submission. Submitting to the fact that I was suffering from an incurable disease of alcoholism. Submitting to the fact that no human power could heal me, however august they may be. Submitting to the fact God could heal me if I seek Him. When I got out of the debating society, I got well immediately.
Yes Gonee that's how it happened for me. It wasn't until I accepted my Absolute powerlessness with alcohol and asked my Higher Power to keep me sober each day (and a lot of meetings) was I able to get and stay sober.
