Whether the family goes on a spiritual basis or not, the alcoholic member has to if he would recover. The others must be convinced of his new status beyond the shadow of a doubt. Seeing is believing to most families who have lived with a drinker. ~William Griffith Wilson
#quotes #william-griffith-wilson #alcohol

But it's very hard to say just what we learned, how we were changed. ~Ursula K. Le Guin
