What we were like...

"It occurred to us that we needed help. So we tried different things to keep our drinking in check. Cutting down. Just drinking beer. Never drinking on an empty stomach. But nothing helped. Eventually we got drunk again, even after declaring, 'I'll never do that again.'"

It Sure Beats Sitting in a Cell, p. 2

Final Thought:

"Nearly every one of us had wished to do great good, perform great deeds, and embody great ideals. We were all perfectionists who, failing perfection, have gone to the other extreme and settled for the bottle and the blackout. Providence, through A.A., has brought us within reach of our highest expectations. So why shouldn't we share our way of life with everyone."
