AA big Book Quote 4/21

[Justme57]

The less people tolerated us, the more we withdrew
from society, from life itself. As we became subjects
of King Alcohol, shivering denizens of his mad realm,
the chilling vapor that is loneliness settled down. It
thickened, ever becoming blacker. Some of us sought
out sordid places, hoping to find understanding companionship
and approval. Momentarily we did -- then
would come oblivion and the awful awakening to face
the hideous Four Horsemen -- Terror, Bewilderment,
Frustration, Despair. Unhappy drinkers who read this
page will understand
