AA Big Book Quote for July 28.

[Dan]

Into Action.

"More than most people, the alcoholic leads a double
life. He is very much the actor. To the outer world he
presents his stage character. This is the one he likes his
fellows to see. He wants to enjoy a certain reputation,
but knows in his heart he doesn't deserve it.

The inconsistency is made worse by the things he does
on his sprees. Coming to his sense, he is revolted at
certain episodes he vaguely remembers. These memories
are a nightmare. He trembles to think someone might
have observed him. As far as he can, he pushes these
memories far inside himself. He hopes they will never
see the light of day. He is under constant fear and tension,
that makes for more drinking."




From the book Alcoholics Anonymous.
