“This is the baffling feature of alcoholism as we know it– this utter inability to leave it (alcohol) alone, no matter how great the necessity or the wish.” “…certain nonalcoholic people who, though drinking foolishly and heavily… are able to stop or moderate, because their brains and bodies have not been damaged as ours were. But the actual or potential alcoholic, with hardly an exception, will be absolutely unable to stop drinking on the basis of self-knowledge.
