Our Big Book tries to drive home the point that after the first drink, the alcoholic is out of control.

I read about a controlled drinking program for alcoholics in 1981. I attempted it for the next 9 years. Didn't work.

From our Big Book, titled Alcoholics Anonymous, page 30:

Quote:

The idea that somehow, someday he will control and enjoy his drinking is the great obsession of every abnormal drinker. The persistence of this illusion is astonishing. Many pursue it into the gates of insanity or death.



Welcome to my world.
