Here are some of the methods we have tried: Drinking beer only, limiting the number of drinks, never drinking alone, never drinking in the morning, drinking only at home, never having it in the house, never drinking during business hours, drinking only at parties, switching from scotch to brandy, drinking only natural wines, agreeing to resign if ever drunk on the job, taking a trip, not taking a trip, swearing off forever (with and without a solemn oath), taking more physical exercise, reading inspirational books, going to health farms and sanitariums, accepting voluntary commitment to asylums - we could increase the list ad infinitum. - Alcoholics Anonymous, p.31Glad they just said they "could" increase the list ad infinitum and didn't actually do it. They wouldn't have finished writing page 31 yet. But I think we all chuckle when we read this because it really shows how sadly comical our methods were.
I could comment on this ad infinitum, but I'll just let the paragraph speak for itself.
Onward.
