Here we have the crucial first step on the road to recovery. We needed to admit that there is a problem and that we had lost all control. As long as we harbor false-hope that we can handle alcoholism on our own, then there will be no recovery.
Once we admit to a problem then we open ourselves up to a solution.
People often ask why there are so many relapses among alcoholics. Look no further for the answer; alcoholics have often been described as self-will run riot. We are convinced that we can control the effects of alcohol and that one day we will find a way to drink normally. This is the great fallacy that is believed by all alcoholics.
The solution is found in giving up, and by giving up we find freedom.
