Default Once an alcoholic

In my opinion once an alcoholic always an alcoholic, never better.
We are never cured, Our alcoholism can only be arrested no matter
how long we have been sober,if we try liquor again,we are as bad or
worse than we ever were,
As far as i no there is no exception to this rule,
We can never recapture the good times of the past, they are gone forever,
Also for the majority of abusers moderation is an unrealistic goal, merly wishful
thinking that you can control it.

Amen. 100% true - every word of it - in my case.

I realize now that it was a HUGE relief when I finally ACCEPTED these truths. Getting and staying AF became much easier once I just surrendered to the truth.

Thank you for your wise posts Mario! I find myself looking forward to them.
