You’re helping a lot of people with this blog, including me. I’ve just started on my journey to sobriety (7 days now — yea!) and it has been so helpful to read blog posts like this. I still don’t get the higher power thing, but I definitely understand that every cell in my body is hard-wired for the booze. Reading your post about the many ways in which alcohol can kill helped me get through today. Thank you!

The power of alcoholism to corrode the fabric of our lives, our families and our society can not be under-estimated. The power of the healing available from A.A., recovery programs and most of all through our re-connection to our source energy, i.e. our higher power – can not be denied. This is the season of our experience of ‘resurrection’ overcoming our experience of ‘crucifixion’! Peace and joy to you.

I am/was an alcoholic but I never considered alcoholism a disease. I know there will always be people on both sides of the issue but to me, the important thing is for the person with the alcohol problem to get off the alcohol however they can.

I think some have an easier time of getting help if they think it’s a disease. Personally, I couldn’t have been helped by thinking of my alcohol problem as a disease. I also wouldn’t have been helped by A.A. I’m not better than anyone, it just wouldn’t have helped me personally. I think A.A. is a wonderful program.

I quit on my own (and God) and I haven’t had a drink in over 21 years. But again, the issue is for the person to get off the alcohol which is destroying his or her life. Having not drank in so long, I look around at all the people who still have a drinking problem and wish I could tell them how wonderful freedom from alcohol is….

Great writing!
I think that this should be posted at an AA meeting of some kind.

This information is really important for all those people who think that alcohol is easy, that they can control it. Alcohol becomes a problem when you less expected to be.

and its getting away too many lifes..
