There are times when I think my sobriety is unbreakable. Having had a summer filled with new friends that indulge in libations albeit in distinct moderation my “people, places and things” AA mantra was put to the test.
And my conclusion is that there is simply no reason for me to pick up a drink and become active again on any level and that includes ‘normal’ or moderate drinking. Alcohol is a toxin at least for this physiology. You may have a different view and conclude that once you have been ‘cured’ you can go back to becoming a social drinker. Well there is no room for that new age homily in my world. And there is no 21st Century protocol out there (and there are quite a few) that will convince me to the contrary. 1935 was the year AA was born and a huge cottage non-profit industry lives on some 76 years later. Those principles that for some might seem outdated are an operating system that functions without any virus for me. How does AA work? It works just fine.
