What will the preacher do?

What will the preachers do when the devil is saved?

If there existed a theological argument with no skeptical defense, the entire world would be saved.  Conversely, if there existed a skeptical argument with no theological defense, religion would lose all relevance.

Thankfully, addiction carries no such complications.

Today marks 3652 days of sobriety for me.  For those doing the math, that's 10 years.  The hardest part, for me, was the first six months.  I struggled horribly with the first step and admitting I was an alcoholic.  I could not wrap my brain around the idea of eternal abstinence.  Strange as it seems now, I had to convince myself of the benefits of sobriety.

Fortunately, there's no skeptical defense for addiction.  Granted, I've watched many, many newcomers come into the rooms, only to turn around and go right back out, proclaiming every excuse imaginable as to why sobriety won't work for them.  I've heard countless individuals outright deny their disease, while others claimed to be hopelessly misunderstood.  I've even witnessed one or two assertions of a miraculous cure from God's own hand.  In the last decade, I've surveyed every variation of insanity and rebuttal to personal recovery known to man.   But never once have I observed a solid skeptical argument against sobriety.  Alcoholism ruins families, destroys careers, obliterates relationships, disseminates joy, and champions an early grave. Period.

Without a logical defense there remains but one course: Insanity and death.  
There, but for the grace of God...
