The drunk sits at a bar or in a bar. What is the drunk doing? Living their fantasy life, while they try and escape the life they actually have. They have turned their will and their life over to booze. Sometimes they end up in bed with someone living out another fantasy. People can live fantasy lives in a pew in church. They think or promise their god that they will live much better lives than what is going on at the moment. But too often there is no surrender, no abandonment to their God. This is why the 3rd step in AA calls for turning your will and your life over to a Power that is not you. Why? Because that Power, God if you will, wants you to live the real life you are capable of when sober. It is Grace. It comes with surrender. Fantasy has no power here.
