Stopping




I remember telling a friend years ago that I didn't have a drinking problem, I had a stopping problem.
We laughed.
It was true, but there was something else going on, something that never occurred to me until I came to AA.
I didn't just have a stopping problem.
I had a starting problem too.
No matter how often I stopped, or for how long, I always started drinking again.

I can't start doing what's right until I stop doing what's wrong.
