Alcoholism is a soul-eating disease. The disease is detected through excessive use of alcohol.
It is self-diagnosed. Until I admit that I am alcoholic, no treatment will relieve my alcoholism.
The treatment entails removal of the alcohol followed by practicing a series of specific steps.
My alcoholism never goes away and requires daily care.
The ongoing preventative treatment requires the reliance upon a “Power Greater than Ourselves”.
It is only by the Grace of God am I Blessed with another day.
God, please help me to be ok today. Thank You. Amen.
