Can anyone give me some quotes on alcoholism?

Question

the ones that discourage from drinking instead of glorifying it.

Answer 1

As the wife of a recovering alcoholic, I can assure you that there is no hope for the alcoholic apart from a spiritual enlightening/awakening. the 12 step program of Alcoholics Anonymous gives such an awakening IF THE alcoholic gets to the end of the rope and turns for help.

Alcoholism is a disease, (medical journals attest to the fact today) and cannot be cured, only arrested. "No drinking one day at a time" is a slogan that helps such people get through and into sobriety.

For the spouses and friends of alcoholics there is another 12 step program called Al-Anon. Same 12 steps and similar meetings. I attend. Keeps me serene through all of lifes' trials.

May I recommend the book "Alcoholics Anonymous", also known as the big book. Look at the Internet auction houses to find a used copy. All the quotations that you could ever need.

However, without the Higher Power spoken of in the 12 steps, an alcoholic is rather without hope.

Answer 2

One reason I don't drink is that I want to know when I am having a good time.

Wine is a treacherous friend who you must always be on guard for.

Alcohol is necessary for a man so that he can have a good opinion of himself, undisturbed be the facts.

Answer 3

You can usually find cynical ones about drinking, but well-reasoned ones against it are harder to come by

Answer 4
