3. Highly recommended

Years back i was studying to get my CAC certificate and read "Under the Influence". For me, it established an unshakable belief for using the argument that the most important fact I need to remember is that alcoholism is a disease of the body.
To this day,when I am at a meeting, I always stress the point that no matter how sane I feel, how good my life is going, how emotionally stable I think I am; I suffer from a physical condition that will never go away. One drink starts the cycle and it will escalate. That in turn will bring back the insanity, social ruin and increased emotional instability.
I didn't become an alcoholic because I was a bad person but because the genes I inherited from mom and dad gave me my blue eyes, brown hair and malfunctional liver. We just don't metabolize booze the way a person with a non-alcoholic liver does.
