Chapter: Three
Page: 34
Step we are on: Step One
Subject: Potential Alcoholic
- Can we be successful in the early stages of the disease?
In the early days of our drinking we occasionally remained sober for a year or more,
- What happens to us later on?
becoming serious drinkers again later.
- Though a person is able to stop for a period, what may be the case?
Though you may be able to stop for a considerable period, you may yet be a potential alcoholic.
A person who can stop drinking when he needs or wants to stop is not yet a real alcholic.
This is irrelevant to whatever damage he does to himself or to his life when he IS drinking.
Even non-alcoholics can wreck their health, finances, families and life-style with too much booze!
- If a person fails the tests, will he probably be interested in the content of this book?
We think few, to whom this book will appeal, can stay dry anything like a year.
TOMORROW:
- Even though a real alcoholic may decide to quit for a year, how soon will most of them return to drinking?
- If a person can’t drink moderately, what is the question?
- What are we assuming?
- What will determine whether or not a person can quit, for good and all, on a non-spiritual basis?
