Do You Have a Drinking Problem?

"Sometimes alcohol seems like the solution to our problems, the only thing making life bearable. But if, when we look honestly at our lives, we see that problems seem to occur when we drink - problems at home or school, problems with our health, with our jobs, even with our social lives - it is more than likely that we have a drinking problem."

Young People in A.A., p. 5

Final Thought:

"Although the strength of our program lies in the voluntary nature of membership in A.A., many of us first attended meetings because we were forced to, either by someone else or our inner discomfort. But continual exposure to A.A. educated us to the true nature of our illness. We then developed a desire for a happy, sober life like that of other members we saw, and we attended meetings willingly and with gratitude."
