“Early on I heard a member say that alcoholism is the disease of loneliness - which the alcoholic treats with isolation. The overwhelming truth of this statement devastated me.”
The loneliest moment in someone’s life is when they are watching their whole world fall apart, and all they can do is stare blankly.
— F. Scott Fitzgerald
He cannot picture life without alcohol. Some day he will be unable to imagine life either with alcohol or without it. Then he will know loneliness such as few do. He will be at the jumping-off place. He will wish for the end.
