In following the steps exactly from the book “Alcoholics Anonymous” I found a new way of thinking and living that allows me to walk the world a free person today. I know it will kill me but I can’t stop and I didn’t know how, until I found the program of DAA.
I can’t imagine going the rest of my life without using and if I keep using it will kill me. All of the things that would make a hard user quit are not enough to stop me. If they fall in love, or they get arrested, or end up in rehab, or they might lose their kids, or the doctor tells them they are gonna die if they keep using, they have no problem quitting or controlling the amount they take.įor me, as a hopeless variety addict, none of these things will keep me from using.

Then I come down and I wonder why I did it and make a promise not to do it. Even if I just got out of jail or rehab the thought of getting high just takes over and I do it. I can tell myself all day I’m not going to but when they’re on the table bet I’m getting high. If someone puts drugs in front of me the fact of the matter is that I’m gonna use. We are without defense against the first drink” “Our so-called will power becomes practically nonexistent.We are unable, at certain times, to bring into our consciousness with sufficient force the memory of the suffering and humiliation of even a week or a month ago. The reasons for going back out over and over again are blocked from my consciousness. I don’t really know why I keep going back to using, the fact is I just do. 24 “The fact is that most, for reasons yet obscure, have lost the power of choice in drink.”
