Problem Removed
We will see that our new attitude toward liquor has been given us without any thought or effort on our part.
It just comes! That is the miracle of it. We are not fighting it, neither are we avoiding temptation.
Instead, the problem has been removed. It does not exist for us. We are neither cocky nor are we afraid.
That is our experience. That is how we react so long as we keep in fit spiritual condition.
- Alcoholics Anonymous, p. 85

Afternoon friends, Susan here, very grateful recovered alcoholic by God's Grace. Thanks everyone for sharing today...I love to listen; it is a form of meditation for me. And today I am reminded of this -- so-called "normal" people get hungry, angry, lonely and tired and they do not need to drink over it. I thought that I did. Circumstance and emotion are not "triggers." I am an alcoholic and that is why I drink. Mental obsession, physical allergy, spiritual remedy. That is what has saved me, regardless of everything going on around me. Since I have learned this, the obsession has been removed and drinking is not a factor. Life still goes on whether I drink or not. My Higher Power helps me get through it. Thanks for listening. Blessings.
