July 4, 2017 - Readings in Recovery: The Eye Opener

The Eye Opener
Tuesday, July 4, 2017
It is not possible to help a man as long as he stands in his own way, nor can anyone or anything else.
A vast host of drinkers could quit if they could get a job, but they can't get a job because they are drinking.
They could quit if they could get their families back, but they can't get their families back because they persist in drinking.
We are all too prone to get a new man "fixed up" so he can stop drinking instead of making him realize that he must stop drinking so he can "fix himself up." He must get out of his own way first.
