"We have been speaking to you of serious, sometimes tragic
things. We have been dealing with alcohol in its worst aspect. But we aren't a
glum lot. If newcomers could see no joy or fun in our existence, they wouldn't
want it. We absolutely insist on enjoying life. We try not to indulge in
cynicism over the state of the nations, nor do we carry the world's troubles on
our shoulders. When we see a man sinking into the mire that is alcoholism, we
give him first aid and place what we have at his disposal. For his sake, we do
recount and almost relive the horrors of our past. But those of us who have
tried to shoulder the entire burden and trouble of others find we are soon
overcome by them. " - Alcoholics Anonymous, page 132 |
