One of the things I never want to forget, ever, is the story in the BB about the man, who stopped drinking for 25 yrs. and then started to drink again, after he retired. What happened? He found he couldn’t stop drinking and died as a result. And what does the BB warn us? That once an alcoholic, always an alcoholic.
I need a warning like that. It’s something I believed from the very start. It’s also something I have witnessed over the years. I have had friends, who have started drinking again and ended up the same way that man in the BB did. They too died as a result of drinking.
However, it’s something someone like me can never forget. I don’t want to. As long as I remember this, it inspires me to put this program into action everyday. Didn’t others know this? Probably, but, if they had minds like mine, they probably forgot or didn’t think it was all that important.
Anyway, in talking to another friend today, they mentioned their reading the BB. That reminded me. The BB and all those messages I have received over the years. And this one popped up. May I always remember it.
Still thinking about sobriety.
