AA Big Book Quote 5/5
That was June 10, 1935, and that was my last drink.
As I write nearly six years have passed.
The question which might naturally come into your
mind would be: "what did the man do or say that was
different from what others had done or said?" It must
be remembered that I had read a great deal and talked
to everyone who knew, or thought they knew, anything
about the subject of alcoholism. This man was a man
who had experienced many years of frightful drinking,
who had had most all the drunkard's experience known
to man, but who had been cured by the very means I
had been trying to employ, that is to say, the spiritual
approach. He gave me information about the subject
of alcoholism which was undoubtedly helpful. Of far
more importance was the fact that he was the first living
human with whom I bad ever talked, who knew what
he was talking about in regard to alcoholism from actual
experience. In other words, be talked my language.
He knew all the answers, and certainly not because he
had picked them up in his reading
