In between periods of alcoholic binge while in high school till college, Oscar Bamwebaze Bamuhigire tried to stop a vice he started when he was 13. Not until he fully submitted to the guidance of Alcoholic Anonymous and gained a spiritual relationship with God that his drinking stopped. Till now.
Quitting alcohol meant he gained the confidence of his family, gained his self esteem, finished school with a second honours degree in Psychology, started a counseling center for alcoholics, wrote for newspapers, appeared on radio and TV on alcohol and drug addiction talks.
He also wrote The Healing Power of Self Love, a self improvement book already out in circulation.
Reaching this recovered state was not that easy through ten years of an off and on affair with alcohol. Oscar says, “I cannot exchange my worst moments when sober to my best moments when drunk.”
The promise to quit and the temptation to drink for the last time or just for an occasion to celebrate, left harrowing imprints of the story of a ten-year alcoholic who finally stopped his addiction with AA’s guidance and submission to God.
