The "Disease Concept of Addiction" is not new. The American Medical Association, American Psychiatric Association and the World Health Organizations all accept various themes of the concept as fact. Talk to any licensed medical practitioner and they will verify this. For suffering people, the goal is overcoming our individual prejudices and denial of addiction as disease of body, mind, emotion and spirit.

The four primary paradigms,(body, mind, emotion and spirit) acknowledge initial symptoms of the illness. Symptoms such as tolerance, loss of control, blackouts and recurring "PRPUUUBI's!" The Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous and "The Script-ACURE for Addiction" not only explain these answers but also offer solutions to the living problems produced by them.

Suffering with the illness is optional! Choose to recover!

Be Blessed with Good Health!

The Powerless aspect of addiction is simple to understand. Look at all the things you regret about the consequences of your substance use and ask yourself the question? Are things working out as I planned for them to work? Or not?
If your answer is, "NOT!" Powerlessness is the reason. If you didn't intend for these things to occur? That is "Powerlessness!" You are culpable! You were there, were you not?
Acceptance on page 449 of volume 3 in the AA Big Book explains the way to achieve acceptance of your addiction. Or not? I guess things are working out the way you planned them! Or, do the work, read the book! Or not! Suffering is optional, I promise!
Good Health and Be Blessed!
Alcohol is a depressant drug which is addictive.
Be aware. If you partake, you are at risk! The reality can be quite regrettable!
Worth the risk? If you drink, you are culpable.

The seventh tradition of Alcoholics Anonymous says," Every AA group ought to be self supporting declining outside contributions." This means being "selfreliant." Provide for your own support. When we become responsible for our own life we realize," If it's to be, It is up to me!" Plan our work and work the plan!. Working hard at sobriety means working hard at becoming successful. Like sobriety, wealth development is a process!

Enjoy the work! That is success! Work is success!

God Bless and Good Health!
