Alcoholic Illness
An illness of this sort—and we have come to believe it an illness—involves
those about us in a way no other human sickness can. If a person has cancer
all are sorry for him and no one is angry or hurt. But not so with the alcoholic
illness, for with it there goes annihilation of all the things worth while in life. It
engulfs all whose lives touch the sufferer's.
- Alcoholics Anonymous, (There Is A Solution) p. 18
