What helped me in this recovery process is the simple statement made by an old-timer, "If I don't pick up that first drink today, I can't get drunk today." I always thought it was the first six pack or the first gallon of wine. This statement was a revelation to me especially working with the Big Book.
The "Doctor's Opinion" had given me the reason I drank the way I did. It is an allergy of the body and the compulsion of the mind. I thank God and this old-timer for this insight.
