Mary Ann Says:

It helps me a great deal to realize that some people have an allergy to alcohol. Just like a child that craves sugar, they crave alcohol, but the after affect leaves them sick, unable to eat or go out and intensely depressed. The only way out is to detox and avoid it altogether. It is a high that lasts a short time and a hell that lasts for days. It still remains, after all, a poison to the system!

Note:

The "Thoughts of the Day" are from members of various 12 step programs. Some are A.A., some Al-Anon, and some Adult Children of Alcoholics. Take what you need and leave the rest!
