  • We Agnostics
    Chapter 4, We Agnostics: We hope we have made clear the distinction between the alcoholic and the non-alco­holic. If, when you honestly want to, you find you cannot quit entirely, or if, when drinking, you have lit­tle control over the amount you take, you are probably alcoholic. If that be the case, you may be suffering from an illness which only a spiritual experience will conquer.
