Self-Will Run Riot
The alcoholic is an extreme example of self-will run riot,
though he usually doesn't think so. Above everything, we
alcoholics must be rid of this selfishness. We must, or it
kills us! God makes that possible. And there often seems
no way of entirely getting rid of self without His aid.
- Alcoholics Anonymous, (How It Works) p. 62
Thought to Ponder . . .
The smallest package in the world is
an alcoholic all wrapped up in himself.
