“For those who are unable to drink moderately the question is how to stop altogether.” Page 34 — If I were able to drink moderately and sanely, I’d have no reason to stop. I enjoy drinking. I enjoy the effect. I enjoy the feelings of brief euphoria, the liquid courage, the mark I hit where everything, for about two minutes, seems okay. But I’m alcoholic. I can’t drink moderately, with any degree of certainty. Most every time I shoot far past that temporary moment of euphoria to drunkenness. Then I wake the next morning ashamed, confused, hungover, wondering how I got home last night, promising to be more careful next time. I can’t drink carefully though. I can’t drink moderately. I am powerless. I am alcoholic.

Help one; save two. Happy Friday!
