The mind of an alcoholic

"Some of us may have thought more about what might happen after we drank, or got drunk, or went on a binge. But the way our minds work is tricky. We could imagine the awful things that would happen after drinking, but we could always find an excuse to take that first drink...The following day, we would truly have no idea how it could have happened."

Plain Language Big Book, p. 49

Final Thought:

"A.A. is not a religion and has no creed or dogma that one must follow. It is, instead, a spiritual program that encourages each member to develop a uniquely personal relationship with a power greater than themselves to help them achieve recovery."
