Q. I have found an increase in drinking. I want to leave it as I lose a lot of money once I drink heavily. I think I am becoming an alcoholic. My drinking habit has changed and it’s increasing. I cannot stop drinking till I forget about myself. This strains me when I get involved in a fight with my friends due to over drinking. I have tried to withdraw but I cannot leave. I think I cannot leave it. Whenever I had tried to leave I have found an increase in drinking. I want to leave it as I lose a lot of money once I drink heavily. How can I get the help?

A. I know exactly what you are going through. It seems hopeless. You crave to drink to make it all feel better. But it ends up every time dragging you down the woilet even further than the last time. Its kind of an insanity. A love-hate relationship with drink. There no way to win against it by your self. You have become totally helpless against it. Sooner later its going to kill you and you know it. Its hurting you and you can't stop it.

That's the problem "YOU". You have exactly the same problem "I" have.
We think we can beat it and master it and perhaps be like those guys in the movies who can drink until the sun comes up and do it again and again, night after night. We don't want to go to heaven unless Jack Daniel's is there.

Get this! You are an alcoholic. I'm an alcoholic. Bloody drunks you and I.

Except there is "one thing" I know that you maybe don't know.

That one thing is that there is a power greater than ourselves that can save us
