That does not mean one must die a drunk! It simply stresses that alcoholism, like diabetes is a lifetime disease. And like diabetes, with proper care, diet and exerciseAnd abstaining from alcohol, alcoholism can be controlled. From around age 18 to 49, I suffered from the disease of alcoholism. A good portion of those years, I was not aware of my disease. I could not link my troubles, loss of family, homes, and jobs, and overall misery to alcohol. In the last 8 of those years, I (and others) just wrote me off as a hopeless misfit. I was homeless, unemployable, and a sad example of human existence. December first, 1983, I had my last drink of alcohol, checked myself in at a detox center in Orlando, Fl. I have not had a drink of alcohol since. At first, my recovery process was not a pleasant one, but it was worth the misery of withdrawing from the demon alcohol. I attended Alcoholics Anonymous regularly, listened and absorbed others experience, strength, and hope. I became teachable and returned to a beautiful life. After getting re-married I became employable and started my own business. I taught myself art, painting over 500 pieces of oil paintings. Attending the gym regularly has not just been healthful, it has been a tremendous joy, working out, meeting people, and socializing. I am retired now, living a beautiful life with my wife of 33 years, and 36 years sobriety, and at age 86, am fit as a fiddle. I do have diabetes, high blood pressure, and a few other ailments, however, with diet, exercise, and following my doctors advice, (and not drinking alcohol or smoking) I am very active and happy. Should I never have admitted I needed help, and joined Alcoholics Anonymous, I would not have re-learned honorable living and not have continued serenity Is why I consider my alcoholism the gift that keeps on giving.</p>...1330749The Gift&That Keeps on Giving, Alcoholism8282https://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-gift-that-keeps-on-giving-alcoholism-1/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/430020/4055819d-2461-4957-96c2-c9d63b8dbce4.jpg?v=638334785319570000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20209781664140530_W3siaWQiOiJhNzIyY2VjYy1lZDEyLTQzNWMtYWQ0MC1kZGQxZTA3NWFkZTYiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjc5LCJkaXNjb3VudCI6MCwic2VsbGluZ1ByaWNlIjo3OSwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjQtMDgtMThUMDk6MDA6MDBaIiwidG8iOiIyMDI0LTA5LTE1VDIzOjU5OjU5WiIsInJlZ2lvbiI6Ik1YIiwiaXNQcmVvcmRlciI6ZmFsc2V9LHsiaWQiOiI4MGFjMTZlYS0wYWM1LTQxNDYtOGVlYS01MzdhNzcyMzUyY2EiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjc1LCJkaXNjb3VudCI6MCwic2VsbGluZ1ByaWNlIjo3NSwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjQtMDktMTZUMDA6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d9781664140530_<p>Mr. Evans speaks out about alcoholism: I chose the title, THE GIFTthat keeps on giving to illuminate that Once an alcoholic, always an alcoholic.
