[QUOTE="Integrity, post: 6023681, member: 26800"] I understand and believe alcoholism to be a disease and not a moral failure or sin. This concept and this philosophy does not originate with me. I first learned it at a rehab I attended. Soon after, I learned that the belief that alcoholism is an illness is a core concept, philosophy, and foundational suggestion of AA and the 12 Step Program. I have been a member of AA and have been practicing and implementing the 12 Step Program in my life since Dec 4, 1990. Today I celebrate this day Dec 3, 1990 as the last day that I drank alcohol. 34 years ago I went to a Monday Night football game between the Niners and the Giants not knowing that my life was going to be dramatically changed. I firmly believe that it is solely by the grace of God, as I understand God, that I report His victory over this disease, through AA, and the subsequent salvation of my soul, and access to His Spirit and Power.
