Just before I came into AA and quite concerned about my health, I called my kids into the living room and said to them point blank, 'I never want to live in a vegetative state, dependent on some machine and fluids from a bottle.. If that ever happens to me, just pull the plug.' They got up, unplugged the Computer, and threw out my beer and wine. I thought they were such asses! But I knew they were right and years later ...
Here I am ...
How did you come to the conclusion that you were an alcoholic???
The sciences of this world are droplets of reality; if then they lead not to reality, what fruit can come of illusion? By the one true God! If learning be not a means of access to Him, the Most Manifest, it is nothing but evident loss. (Baha'i Faith)
Drinking, and failing to control was a big hint, but it wasn't until I found myself unable to stop...
It hit me again, in the midst of my fourth step. Again I was faced with the stark truth of my condition, only this time it had nothing to do with drinking.
