Over the years, I have heard alcoholics describe themselves in different ways. For some, they couldn't have just one drink. For others, they could stop, they just couldn't stay stopped.

For me, I needed to realize how unmanageable my life had become before I could deal with alcohol. Left to my own devices, I would just pick up again. But when I started to look at the damage I was causing to myself and others, the sheer insanity of my life as a drunk, it drove me to want to fight against the physical addiction to alcohol.

I stayed stopped because I wanted to live a happy life more than I wanted a drink.
