“How many times people have said to us: ‘I can take it or leave it alone. Why can’t he?’ ‘Why don’t you drink like a gentleman or quit?’” Page 20 — Non-alcoholics can never truly understand what it is to be alcoholic, to want to be in control of our drinking and of our lives but to repeatedly fail and to fail and to fail.

I am powerless over alcohol. Most people aren’t, but as an alcoholic, I am.
