A Disease
It helped me a great deal to become convinced that
alcoholism was a disease, not a moral issue; that I had
been drinking as a result of a compulsion, even though
I had not been aware of the compulsion at the time;
and that sobriety was not a matter of willpower.
- Alcoholics Anonymous, (Acceptance Was The Answer) p. 416
Thought to Ponder . . .
Recovered and cured are very different things.
I can recover, but I'll never be cured of alcoholism.
