One drink

The one drink that separates the drunk from the sober individual is "the first drink".  The first drink takes away our hope, joy, family, friends, finances, serenity, good health, freedom and even our life.  At my worst moment I found myself on my knees in enormous emotional pain.  That was the moment I pleaded with God to forever TAKE AWAY MY DESIRE TO DRINK!!!  That was over 15 years ago.  Since that moment the first drink has never had any power over me.
