More about alcoholism

"We alcoholics are men and women who have lost the ability to control our drinking. We know that no real alcoholic ever recovers control. All of us felt at times that we were regaining control, but such intervals - usually brief - were inevitably followed by still less control, which led in time led to pitiful and incomprehensible demoralization...Over any considerable period we get worse, never better."

Alcoholics Anonymous, p. 30
