We are also convinced, after the countless attempts we made to prove otherwise, that alcoholism is incurable -- just like other illnesses.
It cannot be "cured" in this sense:
We cannot change our body chemistry and go back to being the normal, moderate social drinkers lots of us seemed to be in our youth.
As some of us put it, we can no more make that change than a pickle can change itself back into a cucumber.
- Living Sober, p. 8
If you think you are an alcoholic, chances are you are.
We cannot change the directions of the wind, but we can adjust our sails.
Have a beautiful day unless you plan otherwise.
