As Bill Sees It
Move Ahead, p. 105
To spend too much time on any one alcoholic is to deny some other an opportunity to live and be happy. One of our Fellowship failed entirely with his first half-dozen prospects. He often says that if he had continued to work on them, he might have deprived many others, who have since recovered, of their chance.

"Our chief responsibility to the newcomer is an adequate presentation of the program. If he does nothing or argues, we do nothing but maintain our own sobriety. If he starts to move ahead, even a little, with an open mind, we then break our necks to help in every way we can."

I always say my drug of choice was alcohol, men, pills, men, work, men, food, men, computers, men....
As they say, looking outside myself to make me feel better doesn't work, I just substitute one drug for another. My drug of choice was more! This is an inward journey, I travelled the other one for too many years.
