Oct. 25, 2015 - Readings in Recovery: The Eye Opener

The Serenity Prayer
The Eye Opener
Sunday, Oct. 25, 2015

The greatest piece of self-deception on the part of the drinker is the actual belief that a drink will make him feel better. We got this illusion because alcohol in the blood stream and in the brain deadens the misery momentarily, but it also served to make us thirsty and so we continued the drinking and inevitably felt worse. Whiskey will pick you up a foot or so, but it drops you a hundred. What made you sick will never make you well.
