Answer by Altru-man
I drank my way into my alcoholism one drink at a time. There was a point in my life when I lost control of my drinking once I began to drink. There is a phenomenon of craving that manifests itself in alcoholics that cannot be stopped once the alcoholic takes a drink.There was nothing worse for me than when I attempted to control my drinking, watching the clock, counting time until I could get another drink, terrified I would run out and not be able to find more.
Fortunately for me I was given the gift of being relieved of my obsession to drink by Almighty God and the power of God through the 12 steps of AA. My last drink was Jan 30, 1994 and my life has gotten better ever since. I love being a recovered alcoholic and live every day to the fullest.
