From "He Lived Only to Drink"
"I
was also able to realize that this bonfire of resentment and rage was
beckoning me to pick up a drink and plunge in to my death. Then I
realized that I had to separate my sobriety from everything else that
was going on in my life. No matter what happened or didn't happen, I
couldn't drink. In fact, none of these things that I was going through
had anything to do with my sobriety; the tides of life flow endlessly
for better or worse, both good and bad, and I cannot allow my
sobriety to become dependent on these ups and downs of living. Sobriety
must live a life of its own."
Alcoholics Anonymous, pgs. 450-451
