Practice of the Day- BB pg 31- Ch 3- More About Alcoholism: Here are some of the methods we have tried: Drinking beer only, limiting the number of drinks, never drinking alone, never drinking in the morning, drinking only at home, never having it in the house, never drinking during business hours, drinking only at parties, switching from scotch to brandy, drinking only natural wines, agreeing to resign if ever drunk on the job, taking a trip, not taking a trip, swearing off forever (with and without a solemn oath), taking more physical exercise, reading inspirational books, going to health farms and sanitariums, accepting voluntary commitment to asylums-we could increase the list ad infinitum. -Tom- My sponsor asked me if I had ever tried any of these methods? I said yes, most of them and some that were not on that particular list. He asked me does your drinking cause problems for you in your life? I said yes, pretty much any major problems going on in my life are because of what happens when I drink? He asked, then why don’t you just stop drinking? I said at first I didn’t stop because I didn’t want to, now it’s because I can’t stop. He said, that’s because alcohol is not your problem, it’s your only solution, so when you stop drinking you are stopping your solution and are only left with your problem. Made logical sense to me. Today I pray for the ability to seek the Solution for my problem, which is found in The Program and The Fellowship of A.A.
