My problem is the ability to live sober without having a drink. Drinking is a medicine for me to deal with life, otherwise with-ought drinking, I’m defensive,lonely, discontent, tired, angry, snippy, you name it. But once I pick up that drink I get a ease and comfort feeling that maybe would last a second. The problem is that one is not enough and one is too many which makes me powerless of alcohol, and my life becomes very unmanageable . Sure Will power will not keep me sober. I have to lean on a power greater then me,get a sponsor, work the twelve steps of AA continuously, be of service for others, and participate in fellowship. I have to work a simple program because I’m so complicated.
