Pickles
We are also convinced, after countless attempts to prove otherwise,
that alcoholism is incurable -- just like some other illnesses.
It cannot be "cured" in this sense: We cannot change our body chemistry
and go back to being the normal, moderate social drinkers
lots of us seemed to be in our youth.
As some of us put it, we can no more make that change
than a pickle can change itself back into a cucumber.
Living Sober, p. 8

Thought to Ponder . . .
If I think I am an alcoholic, chances are I am.

AA-related 'Alconym' . . .
A A = Always Aware.

Thanks to all of you for sharing so generously of your experience, strength and hope in carrying the AA message.
Blessings in sobriety to all,
In love and service,
