And of these shall I speak to those eager, That quality of wisdom that all the wise wish And call creative qualities And good creation of the mind The all-powerful truth Truly and that more & better ways are discovered Towards perfection --Zarathustra.

Dr. Bob's Last Drink

"Dr. Bob assured her that he would not drink. He said that
alcoholics, even those who had stopped drinking, would have to begin
to learn how to live in the real world. She finally agreed and off he
went. Dr. Bob kept his promise to Anne. That is, until he boarded the
train to Atlantic City."

"Wilson, an alcoholic who had learned how to stay sober by helping
other alcoholics through the Oxford Group in New York, was in Akron on
business that had proven unsuccessful and he was in fear of relapsing.
Recognizing the danger, he made inquiries about any local alcoholics
he could talk to and was referred to Smith by Henrietta Sieberling,
one of the leaders of the Akron Oxford Group."

"The only thing that can keep a drunk sober is telling his story to
another drunk."
