"We will comprehend the word serenity and we will know peace. No matter how far down the scale we have gone, we will see how our experience can benefit others."
"That feeling of uselessness and selfpity will disappear."
"We will lose interest in selfish things and gain interest in our fellows."
"Self-seeking will slip away."
"Our whole attitude and outlook upon life will change."
"Fear of people and of economic insecurity will leave us."
"We will intuitively know how to handle situations which used to baffle us."
"We will suddenly realize that God is doing for us what we could not do for ourselves."

Why do sober alcoholics return to drinking?

by Dallas B.

Most often, when you ask a sober, recovered alcoholic: “How are you doing?” — they will proudly say “I’m doing great!
