Cured! Proven Help for Alcoholics and Addicts

Yes. Alcoholics and addicts can be, have been, and will be cured and healed of their afflictions if they follow the principles and practices of the early A.A. fellowship. The ingredients of yesteryear are available today. They are simple. They were widely reported. And they gave rise to the important world-wide A.A. fellowship of today. Many still cling to the idea that they are always "in recovery" or that they can never call themselves "recovered" or that the idea of cure in conflict with A.A. principles. To be sure, the basic text of A.A. contains a couple of phrases which have become dictum--once an alcoholic, always an alcoholic; and there is no cure for alcoholism. But that is not what the founders of the program said or believed. The first three AAs all declared in writing that they had been cured. So did the first forty successful pioneers. So did newspaper articles for a decade. This book does argue with the negative. It proves the positive and points to the documentation of the cures. It opens the door to freedom for those who sit in meetings, abstain from drink, and live in fear that they may relapse. The freedom comes from God. This book details the proof, explains the answer, and claims nothing but the power of God--not meetings, not steps, not books, not pharmaceuticals, not therapy, not treatment, not diet, and probably "no human power" as the cure. There is no rejection of other helps. There is simply a clear way out, the way of the pioneers, that is detailed for those who choose God as their helper, their strength, their guide, and their needed power to resist temptation, abstain, and move toward the abundant life that the Bible promised those who followed Jesus Christ.
