The Ladder

No one who drank as I did wakes up on the edge of the abyss one morning and says: Things look pretty scary; I think I'd better stop drinking before I fall in.

I was convinced I could go as far as I wanted, and then climb back out when it wasn't fun anymore.

What happened was, I found myself at the bottom of the canyon thinking I'd never see the sun again.

AA didn't pull me out of that hole.

It gave me the tools to construct a ladder, with Twelve Steps.

Alcoholics Anonymous, p. 316

 

The elevator is broken -- use the Steps.
