It has become clear to me that the alcohol addiction is just a symptom of my alcoholism.
With or without the alcohol, my problem starts inside of me – my thoughts, feelings, and actions.
After the alcohol was removed, I was still stuck with myself. I had to change.
It’s like when a drunk horse-thief stops drinking – he’s still a horse-thief.
I had to take an honest look at myself and ask God to help me to change.
Without the change, I would surely drink again.
Without God’s help, I cannot change.
God, please help me to be ok today. Thank You. Amen.
