There are five steps in the elimination of any alcoholic problem...

The first step is relaxation. I must obviously be relaxed so that the adequate communication can take place between myself and my higher wiser self ... Therefore, if for any reason at this moment I am not completely relaxed I will now completely relax ... let go of everything ... Let my arms and my legs and my entire body completely let go and relax completely ... Now that I am relaxed ... relaxed more than I have ever been before, I come to this second point ...

The second point is realization ... I am now going to be made to realize the cause of my drinking problem ... and understand it completely ... in almost every case of a drinking problem ... in my mind the person with the drinking problem, was formulated in my own mind ... as the unsupportive alcoholic father

maybe my own father was an alcoholic, or at least a heavy drinker, or maybe my mother on frequent occasions accidentally placed either me or someone else in a trance like state, screaming at me that I wase nothing but a bum, a no good bum ... And that I was going to be a bum just like my father or a drunk like my him ...

Although this maybe different than what happened a suggestion similar to it has been planted deep into my subconscious mind somewhere in childhood ... It may be frequently one of multiple causes ...

But I recognize that somewhere along the line I have a unsupportive father figure if it isn't him, then I felt that Devine Flow the Father was missing in my life, or that my prayers weren't answered, or somehow or another I have got it connected up that if my father was a drunk then maybe God's no good either.

Whatever it is, someone in the position of power or authority somewhere has let me down. And my mind has picked this up and has become an integral part of my personality even though I don't even say it ... even AA recognize that this unsupportive father figure as being an integral part of every alcoholic personal program ...

and in their twelve-suggested steps for a cure they say that in step two that cure can result only when an authoritarian or power greater than themselves can be inserted into their lives ...

the easiest and most frequently used and more helpful authoritarian or paternal figure is that of Devine Flow the Heavenly Father of us all ... and if one of the main causes of alcoholism is a unsupportive father figure then obviously the formation of this paternal figure should promote a cure.

Since the insertion of an adequate father figure does promote a cure, I can assume that part of the cause of alcoholism is a unsupportive father figure. And the second most frequently observed cause of alcoholism, which also appears in over 95% of all cases is a great insecurity or inadequacy of ego.

The alcoholic always says, "I'm not good enough. I'm a loser." And if I argue with him when he's drunk, and I say, you're alright, he'll say, "No, I'm not."

And somewhere in an incident in the past, an alcoholic has almost always been physically beat up and kicked around. Certainly nothing is more damaging to the ego for an individual than physical abuse from the heel of another individual.

And further more, since emotions originate in the mind, the physical trauma of being kicked, is very likely also to be one caught with deep emotions. It's easy to understand other ideas of heavy ego damage can be implanted in the mind with great force at a time such as this.

And so, I am giving myself a number of thoughts of realization:

First, I will be aware of how I became an alcoholic, how I accepted an unsupportive father figure, and why this paternal figure doesn't need to define me. I am unlike my father, I am a better father figure, my father is very different from God in Heaven,

Devine Flow the father embraces my true identity. I am a good person.

Regarding my inferior and wounded ego, I am going to build it up, from this moment on I am going to think well of myself in every way. I am going to be happy and satisfied at what a better person I am... The memories of my unsupportive alcoholic father begin to fade away...

because I promise to think of myself as a better person, because of what I am a son or daughter of God the Devine Flow; My composition, the fact that I am ... From this moment on it is important to completely re-educate myself, to get rid of the habit pattern because I have finished with the relaxation...

and I have finished with the realization...

and now comes the re-education...

And so from this moment on, I move away from drinking, that's been removed. I am going to be surprised and amazed at how much better I feel. I gradually lose all desire to turn to a bar.

The bottle begins to fade for me. I fill my thoughts with things unrelated to alcohol ... And all those ideas take complete and thorough effect on me ... And my unsupportive alcoholic father gets smaller and smaller in my mind

The fourth point is rehabilitation. That consists of breaking the habit pattern and strengthening the ego. I break the habit by writing my desire to be healthly in my journal. The habit pattern begins at a time day or night where I spend the time describing the new sober me. Everyday I write in this journal until it is my new truth.

And my damaged ego begins to be repaired. For this is a dynamic way with dealing with alcoholics. And it's a dynamic pattern in dealing with me. For I have removed my habit pattern, and write out a new way of living of being. My unsupportive alcoholic father becomes someone I can love, because of the Grace of God, the Grace of Devine flow.

I desire only a new life, and I can even taste it, it will be up lifting to me. Every day I write I create a new reality.

My faith in my own religion, my big WHY to stop drinking is built up, my faith in God or Something bigger than me is strengthened, my ego is strengthened and these thoughts are reinforced which is the fifth point ... I replace the memories of my unsupportive alcoholic father, with the truth that my life is a journey. I am stonger for that journe
