AA Big Book Quote for July 5.

More about Alcoholism.

"A man of thirty was doing a great deal of spree
drinking. He was very nervous in the morning after
these bouts and quieted himself with more liquor. He
was ambitious to succeed in business, but saw that he
would get nowhere if he drank at all. Once he started,
he had no control whatever. He made up his mind that
until he had been successful in business and had retired,
he would not touch another drop. An exceptional man,
he remained bone dry for twenty-five years and retired
at the age of fifty-five, after a successful and happy business
career. Then he fell victim to a belief which practically
every alcoholic has -- that his long period of sobriety
and self-discipline had qualified him to drink as
other men. Out came his carpet slippers and a bottle. In
two months he was in a hospital, puzzled and humiliated.
He tried to regulate his drinking for a little while, making several
trips to the hospital meantime. Then, gathering all his
forces, he attempted to stop altogether and found he could
not."
