Alcoholics Anonymous - Fourth Edition

Crossing The River Of Denial

She finally realized that when she enjoyed her drinking, she couldn't
control it, and when she controlled it, she couldn't enjoy it.

Denial is the most cunning, baffling, and powerful part of my disease of
alcoholism. When I look back now, it's hard to imagine I didn't see a
problem with my drinking. But instead of seeing the truth when all the
"yets" (as in, that hasn't happened to me--yet) started happening, I just
kept lowering my standards.

I enjoyed this story very much. I was in transit often with blackouts
and joked about them so I could continue to have them and stay in
denial.
