One of the phrases often repeated in AA is that we somehow make a
choice of whether or not we will drink that day. I am someone who
does not have the power of choice in drink - at least our basic text
tells me so. So what choice is it that we make?

I believe our simple program points us to the ultimate choice - a
choice of maintaining our spiritual condition each day and being
granted a daily reprieve from alcoholism. Striving to live a
spiritual life really negates any passing notion that I may have the
power of choice in drink. Also, because living a spiritual life
means keeping the channel between God and I clear, drinking or
living in my defects only serves to get in between God and I - that
channel becomes choked off once more.
