Bill’s Story page 4 paragraph 3: ‘We went to live with my wife’s parents. .’….ending with the penultimate line on page 5: ‘…Was I crazy? I began to wonder, for such an appalling lack of perspective seemed near being just that.’ Soulwork look up: prodigious The key to success in recovery is to Surrender. Nevertheless I still thought I could control the situation. Q1. How long did it take you to realise you had no control? And how long to surrender? Write the specific situation. I woke up. This had to be stopped. I saw I could not take so much as one drink. I was through forever. Q2. When did you wake up? Q3. When did you realise that the first drink/bite put you on a bender/binge? Gradually things got worse… Q4. How did things get worse? Then I got a promising business opportunity. Stocks were at the low point of 1932, and I had somehow formed a group to buy I was to share generously in the profits. Then I went on a prodigious bender, and that chance vanished. Q5. What happened when you got a break? Did you blow it like Bill or did you land the job, husband and then blow it? Q6. Who did you drag into: ‘This is it. I am never doing it again’ ? Did they go for help? Did you tell them about help e.g. Al-Anon? [Do not for one minute think they are not hurting.] Q7. Are you in that situation today with a spouse, child, sibling, sponsee, etc? Write on the experience of being on one side and then the other. Shortly afterward I came home drunk. There had been no fight. Where had been my high resolve? I simply didn’t know. It hadn’t even come to mind. Someone had pushed a drink my way, and I had taken it. Was I crazy? I began to wonder, for such an appalling lack of perspective seemed near being just that.’ Q8. Can you relate? Q9. What is your understanding of the addiction cycle? ends
