“I heard a member share what his mind set was like in his drinking life. He had begun to live by “a new creed.” He called it the true alcoholic drinking manifesto: I’m going to go as hard as I can, for as long as I can.”
The world is full of men who want to be right, when actually the secret of a man’s strength and his pathway to true honor is his ability to admit fault when he has failed.
—Jim Anderson
So our troubles, we think, are basically of our own making. They arise out of ourselves, and the alcoholic is an extreme example of self-will run riot, though he usually doesn’t think so.
