Somehow, Someday
The idea that somehow, someday he will control and enjoy
his drinking is the great obsession of every abnormal drinker.
The persistence of this illusion is astonishing. Many pursue it
into the gates of insanity or death. We learned that we had to
fully concede to our innermost selves that we were alcoholics.
This is the first step in recovery.
