Over and Over
After they have succumbed to the desire again, as so many do,
and the phenomenon of craving develops, they pass through the
well-known stages of a spree, emerging remorseful, with a firm
resolution not to drink again. This is repeated over and over, and
unless this person can experience an entire psychic change
there is very little hope of his recovery.
 
- Alcoholics Anonymous, (The Doctor's Opinion) p. xxix  

Thought to Ponder
Today, my brain has cleared with the grace of clarity.

My name is Mark, very grateful real alcoholic, recovered by the Grace of God. I didn't feel like going to any length. And I didn't know what it was about. I didn't think I was an alcoholic, but I didn't know what alcoholism is about. I didn't know that alcohol had another effect on me than it has for average normal drinkers. Being physical, like an allergy. And I didn't realize, no matter the circumstances, the idea to have one always came to my mind. Being mental. No idea I had a problem being here and now, having a problem connecting with fellows and blocking whatever power is greater than myself. Being spiritual. I needed to unlearn a lot, and lay aside prejudice, to find truth and accept it. Start to follow the directions in this life-saving book. They are simple, but I was not. I don't need to drink, and I needed it more than oxygen not even that long ago. Nor do I want to, or have any thoughts in the direction. If that's not a miracle, what is? Grateful forever, for You God, for these principles, and for you guys.
