"Festering resentments are poison for recovering addicts and lead the list as causes of relapse.  Whenever addicts are liberated from resentments they are carrying, they know full well the relief.  And when, instead of relapse, sobriety is the gift for another day, the victory of life is real indeed."
 Quote from "Thirst,"  Dr. James B. Nelson

"Before Recovery we were trying to drink God out of a bottle." (quote, Bill Wilson)  "Like members of the cult Dionysus, we were trying to become devine by consuming the gods, it was surely communion."  (quote from "Thirst," Dr. James Nelson
